Sherilyn Reynolds looked on proudly as her husband, Kaurean, was appointed as the city of Atmore’s next municipal judge on Aug. 10.

Reynolds’ appointment was approved by the city council during the regularly-scheduled meeting.

“It feels great,” Reynolds said about his appointment. “I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’m looking forward to doing great things for the  city of Atmore.”

Reynolds replaces Circuit Judge Todd Stearns, who was appointed to the judgeship of the 21st district on July 31 during a ceremony at the Escambia County Courthouse. Reynolds will still hold his seat on the county commission.

Kaurean and Sherilyn are the parents of Na’Asia and Krysta.
