Obituary
Margaret A. “Midge” McReynolds, 76,
of Chestnut, passed away on Friday, November 13,
2020 at Decatur Memorial Hospital in Decatur.
Midge was born on June 15, 1944 in Plainfield, NJ,
the daughter of William Edward and Elizabeth Ruth
(Lytle) Murdock. She married Rex McReynolds on April
4, 2003 in Paducah, KY. He survives in Chestnut.
Midge is also survived by her sons, Ed (Laura) Lock
and Shawn (Melissa) Lock; her step-daughters,
Stephanie Smith and Lisa (Gordon) Stewart; her
grandchildren, Kyle, Breanna, Makenzie, and Sydney;
and her step-grandchildren, Che, Kalin, Avaleena,
Drayden, and Declan; and her great-grandchild, Abel.
Midge was preceded in death by her parents; and her
step-son, Brian McReynolds.
Midge played the organ at The
Methodist Church in Chestnut for 30 years. She also
valued education, obtaining her master’s degree in
counseling. With her degree, she gained memberships
with NAADAC (National Association for Alcoholism and
Drug Abuse Counselors) and IAODAPCA (Illinois
Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Professional
Certification Association). |
Midge was very creative, artistic,
and loved turning nothing into something with her
crafting skills. She had a love of music as a whole
and particularly enjoyed The Grateful Dead. Midge
also found joy while riding with Rex on his
motorcycle in Kentucky, Texas, and New Mexico. But
above all else, Midge loved her family; including
her extended family in the Southwest.
A memorial service will be held and announced at a
later date.
