Reginald Gordon Lennox

Mr. Reginald Gordon Lennox, age 83, of Preston, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, surrounded by his family. Throughout it all, his greatest desire was to spend as much time as possible with those he loved, which is exactly what he did. And now, as it was always meant to be, he is now reunited with the love of his life, Bonnie Lennox (Keech). Born in Mount Savage, Maryland, on February 28, 1941, he was the son of the late Andrew and Mary Lennox. Reg grew up embodying the values of hard work and compassion—qualities that defined him throughout his life. Reg and Bonnie were married on March 18, 1960. For 57 years, they shared a kind, selfless love that inspired everyone who knew them. Their relationship was a model of how every person deserves to be loved. Together, they raised two children, Kim Femi (Lennox) and Reggie Lennox, in LaVale, Maryland. Reg worked for Kelly-Springfield Tire Company, dedicating himself to his work with the same diligence and commitment he showed in his family life. In 1988, Bonnie and Reg relocated to Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where they became cherished members of the community. Reg’s devotion to his family was equaled only by his unwavering faith. As a devout Catholic, he attended Lady of Good Counsel and Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church. His professional journey continued at Allen Family Foods in Cordova, where he served as Supervisor and later retired as Superintendent. After retiring from Allen Family Foods, Reg “Mr. Reggie” found great joy working as a custodian for Caroline County Public Schools at North Caroline High School, Federalsburg Elementary School and Preston Elementary School. Surrounded by students and staff who admired him for his kindness and dedication, this role allowed Reg’s strengths—his hard work, compassion, and selflessness—to shine. The relationships he built within the school community brought him immense fulfillment. Having continued to work even up until seven weeks before his passing, Reg’s resilient spirit and dedication remained unwavering, reflecting the work ethic and heart he displayed throughout his life. Reg was the embodiment of a servant leader—always caring for others and showing kindness to everyone he encountered. He didn’t miss a thing and was a master at knowing when to speak and when to simply be present. His love for his family was unmatched. The way he cherished and cared for Bonnie was truly special, a testament to the selfless love they shared. Now reunited with her, their enduring love will forever serve as a shining example of devotion. You could always find Reg at ball fields, gymnasiums, concerts, and recitals, proudly watching his great-grandchildren. He faithfully attended St. Michaels High School baseball games, rarely missing a chance to show his support. He was more than just a spectator—he was his family’s biggest cheerleader, celebrating every milestone and event. His compassion, selflessness, and love extended not just to his family but to everyone he met. Reg is survived by his daughter, Kim Femi (Brian); three brothers, Robert, Ronald (Bonnie), and Edward Lennox; six grandchildren, Ali Strickland (John), Taylor Femi, Megan Freyer (Alex), Sean Lennox, Ashley Schulte (Dan), and Corey Lennox (Amy); and great-grandchildren, Bradley, Channing, Teddi, Quinn, Reese, Louise, Margot, Victor, and Theodore. He is now reunited with those who preceded him in death, including his beloved wife, Bonnie Lennox, his son, Reggie Lennox, and his parents, Andrew and Mary Lennox. In his final act of kindness, Reg donated his body to the Maryland State Anatomy Board, hoping that others may benefit in the future. A memorial Mass is scheduled for Saturday, September 28, 2024, at 11:00 AM at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Easton, MD, with a reception to follow at the Parish Hall. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made to Saint Vincent de Paul (SVdP), P.O. Box 783, Easton, MD 21601.
