Miriam Caroline (Hood) Reinhold went to be with the Lord on Sunday morning, January 6, 2013, in her home following an extended illness. She was born August 13, 1925 to parents Carl and Pearl (Norman) Hood in Pierre, South Dakota. They later moved to Kadoka, South Dakota where her father became a rancher and her mother a teacher. Miriam married Earl Reinhold on October 18, 1941 in Sundance, Wyoming. From that union, three daughters were born. While raising a family, she continued her education, earning a B.S. and a M.S. from Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma. After three years of teaching high school English, speech and drama, she accepted a position in Waxahachie, teaching the same courses at the college level at her beloved SAGC, now Southwestern Assemblies of God University. During this tenure, she took post graduate studies at Baylor University. She often reflected on how difficult English had been for her and was passionate about making it easy for her students. This was typical of her determination and compassion for others. Organizations which Miriam greatly enjoyed were: DAR (40 year membership), Delta Kappa Gamma, AAUW, Texas Junior College Speech and Theatre Association and Roger Williams Family Association (She was a proud descendent of Roger Williams.) She was a loving wife, mother, grandma, aunt, cousin and friend. She had a great sense of humor and an incredible ability to see the best in all people and circumstances. She was a faithful member of University Church for 52 years. Her church family was a very important part of her life. She was a member of the Adult Sunday School Class and greatly enjoyed assisting with church banquets and travelling with her husband on Daystar tours. She was a mighty prayer warrior who interceded on behalf of her family through life's challenges. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Miriam is survived by daughters Marilyn Thompson and Linda Edwards and her husband Dean; son-in-law Larry Wallace and wife Michele, all of Waxahachie; grandchildren Cami Dodds and husband Bill of Mansfield, Texas, Chad and Sarah Wallace of Rockett, Texas, Brandon Clement of Waxahachie, and Brittanie Thompson of Nashville, TN; great grandchildren Tristen and Landon Dodds, Emma Grace Clement, Elizabeth, Hadassah, and Eve Wallace. She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Earl Reinhold, her daughter Jeanette Wallace, and son-in-law Woody Thompson.
