Margaret Ellen Reynolds

Born in Glasgow Scotland April 1st 1946 to Bruce D. and Margaret H. (“née” Dickie) Harrison.
She passed away, surrounded by family and friends, 18 June 2019 after having courageously fought off ovarian cancer for 22 years. She grew up in Scotland and Wales. Margaret graduated as an RN from the school of nursing at the Queen Victoria Hospital (the Vickie”) in Glasgow where she also earned a midwifery certification.
In 1968 she was contracted by Harris Hospital (Ft. Worth) as an OR nurse. In 1969 she met Neil whom she married 24 April 1971. Employment led them, in 1977, to move to Singapore. Most of the rest of their business career involved work in and around Singapore. Demonstrating her ever present compassion, she and a fellow RN began and operated a free “well baby” clinic at the Vietnamese refugees camp in 1970’s Singapore. Later in the USA she worked for and retired from American Airlines Medical department
To meet her was to become a friend for life. To her very many friends she was the truest of friends. She loved them all unreservedly. Her presence would light up the room.
She is survived by husband Neil, children Jennifer, Rob and wife Kate (Buckman) Reynolds, and beloved grandchildren “wee treasures”, Harrison and Vivienne. Her Scots family; Sister Edith, husband Westy nieces Lynsay and Judy and their beautiful families, as well as her British and Canadian family.
The family wishes to express heartfelt thanks to Dr. H and Buffy at Texas Oncology. They were responsible for our many victories over the 22 years of this battle. Latterly, the Mary Crowley Cancer Research staff were all we could ask for when we partnered in this battle. The entire staff were outstanding both professionally and compassionately. Their motto “Hope Lives Here” is perfect. We thank you all.
Memorial service is on 29 June at 1pm. Saint Phillips’s Presbyterian, 745 West Pipeline Rd. Hurst, TX
In lieu of flowers, donations to Mary Crowley Cancer Research, Dallas TX would be appreciated.
