Mignon Reznik

Mignon (Mig) Myrtle Reznik, dignified loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great-grandmother, went to be with her heavenly Father on June 22, 2010, at the age of 79. She was born on September 14, 1930, in Woodville, Oklahoma to Fred and Nobey Lemmons. As a child of the Great Depression, Mig learned the honor of hard work and the value of strong family bonds, which she passed down to her children.

At the age of eighteen, Mig moved to Dallas, Texas to attend business college. She soon met Alphonse (AL) Reznik to whom she committed in marriage and love for life on May 14, 1949, in Stamford, Texas. AL and Mig moved, in September of 1949, to Friona, Texas, where she freely dedicated her life to being a compassionate, selfless mother of four and a creative homemaker, while also managing the farm business. They farmed in Friona until 1974. After a short stay farming in the Sulfur Spring Valley of Arizona, AL and Mig relocated to Lubbock, Texas in January of 1976, where she remained through the recent passing of AL on May 26, 2010, until her death.

Mig is survived by her children: Michael and Linda Reznik of Odessa, Texas; Sandy and David Butcher of Lawton, Oklahoma; Annette and Jim Watters of Fredericksburg, Texas; and Patrick and Lily Reznik of Dripping Springs, Texas. She is also survived by her younger brother, Freddy Joe Lemmons of Mustang, Oklahoma and her nine grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

Services will be held on Saturday, June 26, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., at Resthaven’s Abbey Chapel with burial to follow in Resthaven Memorial Park. Visitation will be held on Friday from 4pm to 6pm at Resthaven Funeral Home. Please join us in celebrating Mig’s life by visiting her memorial at www.resthavenfuneralhome.com.

Pallbearers will be: Shad Altman, Derek Reznik, Luke Evans, David Butcher, Jim Watters and Chris Debusk.

Mig attended Texas Tech with AL and helped him to achieve his Bachelor of Science degree in 1999.
