M. Virginia Reynolds

Virginia Reynolds was the aunt of one of our donors who is honoring her memory with significant recognition of the Family Center. Virginia was a teacher in the Sacramento California area for many years. She taught Social Studies in both Junior High and High School. She had no children of her own but she was always a favorite aunt. She would be pleased to know that part of her legacy will go to help strengthen families and communities in an area where some of her descendants live in Colorado.
