Rubena B Reynolds

January 31, 2021

Rubena was born on February 14, 1932 in Kingston, Jamaica. Some would say she brought the warmth of this sunny island to the cold winds of New Jersey, which could be witnessed in her energy and outgoing personality. This was a definite positive in her hospital career. She was well known at Englewood Hospital Medical Center, where she worked as a nurse for fifty (50) years. It was, perhaps that inward strength and energy which helped her become a breast cancer survivor in 1998. Her outgoing personality and spirit of fellowship was also witnessed and appreciated within the Presbyterian Church of Teaneck family. She joined the church in 1996 and participated in the life of the Church in a number of ways, including being ordained as a Deacon of the church. Rubena died at her home in Teaneck on Sunday, January 31. She is proceeded in death by her mother, Jenita Jenkins; her brother, Alvin Harrison and her son, Anthony Reynolds. She is survived by her son, Patrick Reynolds; Grandchildren—Terrell Reynolds, Anthony Oliver, Ethiopia Reynolds, Marrisa Fields and Tabitha Cook; Great Granddaughter—Quatasia Reynolds and a host of other family members and friends. Memorials may be given to Volk-Leber Funeral Home. The family of Rubena wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the doctors and hospice nurses of Holy Name Hospital and family and friends who were there throughout her illness. We would especially love to thank Victoria Restrepo who has been there throughout this entire journey. Pallbearers Patrick, Terrell, Victor, Ricardo, Tate, Roosevelt
