Hattie Mae Bates Reynolds, 99, of Jerome died Sunday, April 26, 2020. Mrs. Reynolds was a native of Ashley County and a resident of Jerome for the past 68 years. Mrs. Reynolds was a homemaker and cake decorator. She was a member of the Jerome Baptist Church, where she served as the church clerk and a Sunday school teacher for many years. She was active with the Chicot County 4-H Club and the Chicot County Extension Homemakers Council. In her free time, she enjoyed working in her yard and her garden. Family was very important to Mrs. Hattie Mae, she loved get-togethers and spending time with her family. Just 11 days after she turned 13, her life was changed forever. In the event of her mother’s death, she had suddenly become the mother figure to five younger siblings, two boys and three girls, with the youngest being only two years old. She also had three older brothers, and it can be said that she “mothered” them too.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Brad Reynolds in 2007; her parents, Earnest Allen & Florence Dingler Bates; a sister, Sally Mae Bates Battle, and four brothers, Elvin Bates, Alvin “Hoot” Bates, Marion Bates and Gerald Bates.
