Alison Beth Reynolds died unexpectedly on July 27 at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital of natural causes due to a long-term medical condition — It was the hospital where she was born on August 5, 1972. She was 43.
Alison attended school at Ponciana Elementary School in Key West, Fla., and schools in Orlando, Fla. She graduated from Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School in 1990, and went on to attend Southeastern Academy of Travel and Tourism in Orlando.
Alison was a hard-working, vivacious, fun-loving young lady who always wore a smile. Her work ethic was one of her most outstanding qualities. For a few years she was the smile behind the deli counter at the Stop and Shop in Tisbury, and she had worked in the dietary department at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. An excellent saleswoman, she loved selling candles and having PartyLite parties. This past spring she obtained her CDL license and was excited to be driving a school bus.
She was the daughter of Cheryl Ann Kinnecom Cullinan and her husband James Cullinan of Seminole, Fla., as well as Gary Reynolds and his wife Ellen Sutter Reynolds of Edgartown. Alison was the granddaughter of Captain Robert Kinnecom and his wife Ernestine Rose Kinnecom of Oak Bluffs, and the late William and Georgianna Reynolds of Edgartown.
She is survived by her parents and step-parents, and by her Kinnecom grandparents Bob and Ernestine. Alison is also survived by her siblings David Reynolds of Orlando, Tara Reynolds of Edgartown, and Ashley Cullinan and Amy Cullinan Lolo of Florida. In addition, she is survived by her three children, Christopher, Bianca, and Payton.
Alison is survived by her aunts Jo-Ann Kinnecom Murphy and her husband Brian of Tisbury, Roberta Kinnecom Evans of Mashpee, Barbara Kinnecom Connell of Cullowhee, N.C., and her uncle Robert E. Kinnecom Jr. and his wife Rosemary of Plymouth. She is also survived by numerous members of the Rose, Kinnecom, and Cullinan families.
Funeral services were held at Chapman, Cole and Gleason on Sunday evening, and a graveside service was conducted by the Reverend Nagle on August 1 at Sacred Heart Cemetery. A fund is being set up at Martha’s Vineyard Savings Bank, as well as a GoFundMe account online, for the benefit of her children.
