She was born in Elkhart, WI, to Augusta Margaret Gratz and Lewis John Reynolds. Luella had 2 brothers, Louis and Wilber and 3 sisters, Mildred, Helen and Dorothy.

Luella had a long life and began with farming alongside her husband of 52 years in Oconto and worked for Gardner Denver in Green Bay, before retiring. When she retired with her husband, they lived Twin Bridges, where she enjoyed fishing "Chocolate Drop Island" with her brother Louis, catching crappies, on High Falls and enjoying the great outdoor life.
