Violet Mae Reynolds, age 77 of Batesville, Indiana passed away on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at her home. The daughter of Sidney K. and Sally Powell was born in Garrard County, Kentucky on March 31, 1941.
Violet married Dallas Reynolds on July 24, 1984 in Florence, KY. Though her given name was Violet, many of her family and friends affectionately knew her as ‘Toots’. She worked for the Interior Department of Batesville Casket Company before eventually retiring from there.
Violet loved music and sang with ‘The Powell Family Singers’ for many years. She also enjoyed cooking, especially ‘Lizzy Beans’ (a family casserole dish), along with chicken and dumplings. Later in life Violet liked going out to eat with family and watching Dr. Phil and Dancing with the Stars. Most of all she loved spending time with her family, as her grandchildren and great grandchildren were especially dear to her.
