Jean E. Reynosa 
Nov. 27, 1916 - Dec. 6, 2004



Jean Eguinoa Reynosa was born in Williams, Arizona. In 1934, she married James 
Reynosa and together they had two children, James Reynosa, Jr. and Maria L.R. 
Loduca. Soon after World War II, the couple founded their business, Reynosa's 
Auto Body Works. From its inception, Reynosa's Auto Body was a successful 
business with a reputation of excellence and professionalism. Both Jean and 
James were proud that many auto body shop owners throughout Stockton began 
their careers at Reynosa's Auto Body Works. After the passing of her husband in 
1968, she continued to successfully operate the business for over thirty years. 
Jean was a generous woman and active community leader and philanthropist, 
respected in the Hispanic and Stockton community. She is the founder of the 
Stockton Mexican American Chamber of Commerce where she was inducted into the 
Mexican American Hall of Fame. Jean was an appointee of Governor Jerry Brown to 
the San Joaquin County Fair Board. She was reappointed in 1981 for a second 
term and named president of the board that same year, the first woman to ever 
hold the position. She served with great distinction as president of the fair 
board, giving impetus to many programs benefiting the Hispanic community and 
the county at large. Jean loved her family, friends, community and hats. She 
was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Reynosa Sr. and six 
brothers and sisters.
She is survived by her two children, James Reynosa Jr. (Mayda) of Groveland, CA 
and Maria Loduca (Frank) of Stockton, CA; her grandchildren, Stephanie Renee 
Pennington, Steven Jeffrey Reynosa, James Nicholas Reynosa, Timothy Edward 
Reynosa, Frank Paul Loduca, Gina Maria Williams, and James Paul Loduca and her 
siblings, Kathryn Maestas, Frances Tocco and Matt Equinoa. Jean was also a 
proud great-grandmother of 15 great-grandchildren and two great-great-
grandchildren.
