Rebecca Irie Castleberry Reynolds went to be with the Lord and Savior on January 29, 2018. She was born May 27, 1920 to her late parents Loyd M. and Willie Reno Castleberry. Irie is preceded in death by her parents, brothers, Aaron, Hinkle, Ernest and Thurman Castleberry; Sisters Mary Burkett, Annie Barton, Daisy Cotton and Marie Webb. Also preceded in death by Martha Staggs, a niece she and Ernest raised, and her husband of 63 years, Ernest Reynolds.

She was famous in her family's eyes serving homemade rolls, biscuits, fried chicken, stewed potatoes, and delicious homemade from scratch desserts.
