Brittany Nicole Pinney, aged 33, of Denair, California, passed away on June 20, 2024. Born on September 10, 1990, in Turlock, CA, she was a deeply cherished member of her community and a beacon of dedication and kindness. Brittany was an inspiration to her family and was not afraid to try something new. Brittany graduated from Denair Unified Schools and furthered her education at Merced Junior College, earning an Associate of Science in Ag Business and an Associate of Art in Animal Science. Her commitment to agriculture was profound, as evidenced by her active involvement in FFA, where she achieved the prestigious American Farmer Degree and participated on FFA judging teams and serviced as the FFA Chapter Reporter. Her professional journey was marked by her role as a Community Service Officer for the Turlock Police Department, a position she held until her untimely passing. Brittany's career also included significant contributions to animal welfare, beginning as an Animal Control Officer and later becoming the Animal Services Supervisor, which was her passion and an aspiration to achieve. Outside of her professional life, Brittany was passionate about agriculture and animal sciences, participating in activities such as showing meat goats at the County Fair and various ABGA goat shows. She was also a 4-H co-leader, an avid horse rider, and enjoyed participating in Gymkhana events, branding cattle, gathering cattle, and trail rides. Brittany's life was a testament to service, both in her career and in her personal pursuits. She was recognized for her volunteerism with the City of Turlock Volunteer Service Award in 2011. Her athletic spirit shone through during her high school years, where she actively participated (playing three sports all 4 years at DHS) in volleyball, softball, and basketball, earning multiple accolades including the Varsity Basketball Coach's Award. She leaves behind her loving daughter, Violet Pinney; parents, Melvin and Janelle Pinney; her brother and sister-in-law, Justin and Taryn Pinney; and her nieces, Raelynn and Jemma Pinney; her grandmother, Glenda Ramos; and (husband) Jonathan Reynolds. She also leaves behind uncles, aunts, and cousins, which she cherished. Brittany was preceded in death by her grandfather, Barton Ramos, and grandparents, Mel and Kay Pinney, as well as her uncle, Mike Damas. A rosary will be held in honor of Brittany at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, July 19, 2024, followed by a funeral service at 10:00 a.m. and burial thereafter. Her life and legacy will be remembered by all who knew her as a dedicated mother, daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, cousin and community servant, whose impact will be felt for many years to come.
