Mary Reinhardt, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on
August 10, 2026, in Fresno, California. She was 79 years old.

Mary was born on January 31, 1947, in Springfield, Missouri, to Bill and Helen Perry. She spent her working years as a receptionist, where her caring nature and warm personality touched the lives of those around her.

In 1996, Mary retired from her career to take on what she considered her favorite job of all—being there for her grandchildren. Her family was the center of her world, and she treasured watching them grow, cheering them on, and being a constant source of love and support throughout their lives.

Mary was a caring and generous person who loved giving gifts and making others feel special. She enjoyed baking, reading, sports, and, most of all, following anything her grandchildren were involved in. Her love for her family was evident in all that she did, and she created countless memories that will be cherished forever.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Reinhardt, and her parents, Bill and Helen Perry.

She is survived by her children, Lauri and Greg Vaughn, and Brian and Amy Criesi; seven grandchildren (Kayla, Taylor, Christian, Ashley, Jessica, Ryan, & Gavin); two great-grandchildren; and her brother Mick.

Mary will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew and loved her. Her kindness, generosity, and unwavering love for her family will live on through the many lives she touched and the memories she leaves behind.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, August 28 th at 9am. Clovis Cemetery District 305 N Villa Ave, Clovis CA 93612
