A funeral service will be held this morning for “a very loving, beautiful, talented individual” who died in a single-vehicle crash Wednesday.
Brie Ann Reynolds, 21, was killed just before 1 p.m. Wednesday, according to Virginia State Police on Route 600 a half mile south of Route 605.
Her funeral will be held at Seaver-Brown Chapel at 11 a.m. this morning with the Rev. Neville Mozingo and the Rev. Jeff Lambert officiating.  A private burial will follow.
Reynolds was wearing her seatbelt, no alcohol was involved, and witnesses told police she was not traveling at excessive speed, police said.
Reynolds’ northbound 2001 Mercury Cougar two-door ran off the right side of the road, and Reynolds over-corrected to the left. She went to the right again where the car struck an embankment and overturned, police said.
Reynolds was pronounced dead at the scene and responders called off an inbound Med-Flight helicopter, according to police.
Her obituary said Reynolds “was a very loving, beautiful, talented individual who will be greatly missed by family and friends.” She was a 2004 graduate of Marion Senior High School and a member of First United Methodist Church in Marion.
Survivors include her mother, Debbie Reynolds and fiancé, Robert Ball of Chilhowie; her father and stepmother, Brian and Tanya Reynolds of Marion; one sister, Lindley Reynolds of Marion; two stepsisters, Lora Mooney of Fort Chiswell and Emily Eversole of Marion; one stepbrother, Jonathon Clemons of Marion; her grandfather, Dan Tickle of Pulaski; two uncles, Ben Tickle of Pulaski and Dan Tickle Jr. of Las Vegas, Nev.; several cousins and many, many special friends including, Amber Walker, Matt Klein and Stevie Schwartz.
