Reba worked out of the home for only a short period of time doing different things such as selling Avon, but found her real task was being a stay-at-home mom and wife. She loved to cook, quilt, work in her flowers and take care of her kids. She attended Four Mile Hill School until it burned and while she was in school she was known for participating in sports and not only enjoyed them, she was said to be good at them. She was an active member of Faith Assembly of God Church in Searcy for many years and thought of them as her family as well.

Services are scheduled for Friday, November 17, 2023 at Faith Assembly of God Church with Visitation being held at 1:00 PM followed by a Celebration of Life Service at 2:00 PM. The Grandsons, who will be serving as Pallbearers are Tracy Rambo, Richard Rambo, Jaymie Dillard, Marty Brown, Greg Brown and Todd Brown. Interment will follow at Searcy Faith Cemetery. All services are under the direction of Roller-Daniel Funeral Home.
