Carolyn Renee Reyna, 60, passed away on September 27, 2026. She was born in Los Angeles, California to Bill and Arline McBride. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered as an amazing, caring, strong, loving, and independent woman, and as a great mother whose presence brought warmth and laughter to those around her.

A graduate of Apache High School in Oklahoma, Class of 1984, Carolyn built a life marked by hard work, determination, and a love of the open road. She owned Road Angel Pilot, an over-the-road escort service for oversized loads, and for 20 years her work gave her the opportunity to travel all over America. That chapter of her life reflected both her independence and her strength, as well as her willingness to embrace adventure and go wherever the journey led.

Outside of work, Carolyn found joy in restoring old furniture, traveling, and simply going places. She had a lively spirit and a way of making everyday moments brighter. She kept the family laughing, and that gift of humor will remain one of the many treasured memories she leaves behind.

She is survived by her children, Cody Watts (Danielle Lesperance), Tiffany Peals (Terry), Kara Watts (Phillip Herrington), Mikaela Watts, Nicholas Reyna (Sissy), Cecelia Reyna; grandchildren, Aliza Peals, Terrence Peals Jr., Leela Peals, Trip Herrington, Jessie Reyna; siblings, Diana Hohman (Lonnie), Robert McBride (Debbie); as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by husband, John Reyna; parents, Bill and Arline McBride; sister, Roxanna Davis; nephew, Douglas Davis.

Of all the things Carolyn valued most, her family was her proudest accomplishment. She especially cherished her grandkids and looked forward to retiring so she could spend more time with them. The love she gave her family was at the center of her life, and that love will continue to be felt by all who knew her.

Carolyn Reyna’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, and her life will be remembered with gratitude, affection, and enduring love.
