Bobbie Doyle Reynolds

April 11, 1928 - December 7, 2019

Bobbie Doyle Reynolds, 91, widow of Sam C. Reynolds, Sr., passed away December 7, 2019 at home with her loving family. Bobbie was the daughter of the late W.O. Doyle, Sr. and Bertha Adams Doyle. She was a 1946 graduate of Carlisle High School. There she met and fell in love with the love of her life, Sam. They married in 1952 and spent 66 wonderful years together before his death in May. Together, they raised their three children on Sycamore Street in the house she loved so much and took so much pride in. Her life was devoted to taking care of her family, always worrying that everyone was okay. She was an amazing mother but really found her “calling” when she became a grandmother. Spending time with and spoiling her grandchildren was her greatest joy. Ms. Bobbie was a role model for so many in the way she lived her life. She followed the Golden Rule of do unto others as you would have them do unto you and taught by example. She was a member of the Carlisle Presbyterian Church where she was active in the Women of the Church and served as an Elder and Deacon. She loved the Girl Scouts and was a troop leader and active parent volunteer for years, influencing a generation of young women in Carlisle. Alongside Sam, she served as Secretary of the Kentucky Fox Hunters’ Association from 1982-1992, a role she thoroughly loved. Long-lasting friendships defined Bobbie, many lasting over 70 years. She and her high school friends met monthly for years for a girls’ day out and oh, the stories they told. She loved to be home, but some of her favorite times were traveling around the country with Sam and her brother-in-law Frank in his RV. She is survived by her three children, Lisa A. Reynolds of Carlisle and Phoenix, Arizona, Sam Cooke Reynolds, Jr. (Frankie) of Carlisle, and Virginia Lynn Reynolds of Lexington; two grandchildren, Mary Beth Reynolds Matthews (Jeremy) and Samuel Cooke Reynolds, III; great granddaughter Raelynn May Reynolds; her sister Alma Boardman of Paris and brother Billy B. Doyle of Cynthiana. Besides her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers W. O. Doyle, Jr. and Enoch Doyle and her sister Margaret McKinney. Visitation will be Wednesday, December 11th from 11AM-1PM at the Carlisle Presbyterian Church, followed by a memorial service at 1PM with Rev. William Bertelle Eyster and Rev. Schuyler Olt officiating. Burial will be in the Carlisle Cemetery. Pall bearers will be Samuel Cooke Reynolds III, Jeremy Matthews, Billy R. Doyle, John Enoch Doyle, Clay Crump, and Andy Whirles.
