Falmouth — Margaret Ann Reynolds Klee, 96, the beloved matriarch of a large and loving family, earned her wings Monday, July 28, 2025, at the Celebration Villa, in Ft. Wright.
Born on April 8, 1929, at home in Falmouth, she was a daughter of the late Edward Earl and Mary Frances Schuetz Reynolds. Recognized as the DAR Good Citizen in the Falmouth High School Class of 1947, “Margie” married Paul Vincent Klee, Sr. on January 15, 1949, one of the great blessings in her life. Together they celebrated 75 years of marriage in January 2024 --- a rare and remarkable milestone that reflected the love, commitment and partnership they shared across a lifetime.
Margie’s life was defined by her love for family, her deep faith, and her unwavering Irish spirit. A longtime member of Saint Agnes Parish, she was a deeply spiritual woman who lived her faith through action and kindness. She found great joy in Irish blessings, spending time with her siblings, and celebrating her heritage—she was Irish through and through. She was also a determined and successful businesswoman creating several companies and known for her tenacity and insight. A lifelong learner, she believed in growth, grace, and giving back. She was instrumental in the founding of Grateful Life, a recovery center that has helped countless individuals. She also started her own nonprofit, YALEway “You Are Loved Eternally”—a reflection of the compassion and unconditional love she shared with everyone around her.
Above all else, Margie was family-oriented. She built a home rooted in love, faith, and tradition—a home that has grown into generations of people who carry her strength, spirit, and grace forward.
She was the proud mother of 11 children: Nancy Klee Wright (Dan), Paula Klee Brickweg (Jim, deceased), Paul Vincent Klee, Jr. (Cathie), Marilyn Klee Bradley (Chris), Michael Kent Klee (Lisa), Alan Reynolds Klee, Marianne Klee Roseberry (Bill), Martin Joseph Klee (deceased), Marjorie Klee Maginn (Tim), Maureen Klee Sweeney (Greg), and William Edward Klee (Tara).
She leaves behind a legacy of 106 family members, including 25 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren; sister, Judy Reynolds Woodhead (Dan); and a host of extended family and friends.
In addition to her parents, husband, son, and son-in-law, she was also preceded by three sisters and brothers-in-law: Mary Kay Reynolds Gronotte (Joe), Frances Reynolds Kelly (Ernest) and Betty Reynolds Coleman (Bill); and one brother and sister-in-law: Edward J. Reynolds (Marilyn).
A Mass of Christian Burial was held Friday, August 8, 2025, at St. Francis Xavier Church, with Fr. Andrew Gronotte, LC and Fr. Christopher Gronotte, LC officiating.
Margie’s heavenly Irish eyes were smiling if you chose to wear a touch of green.
Interment took place at St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, Falmouth.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to St. Francis Xavier Church or St. Francis Xavier Cemetery.
