Rena was of the Southern Baptist faith. She was one of the founding members of the Searcy County Missionary Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School and was always in the middle of all that was going on. She was a lifelong volunteer in the church and worked tirelessly setting up Vacation Bible Schools all across the county. Rena had such a musical talent. She was the music director at church for many years. She played many instruments including the guitar, banjo, mandolin and autoharp. She also sang in various gospel groups in the area. Rena even taught a few of her grands to play as well. She graduated Big Flat High School and attended college for 2 years. She also was a Daycare owner. Rena loved spending time with her family and always loved when the house was full. After David passed, she enjoyed spending time with her Saturday morning breakfast ladies, traveling the country and doing some sightseeing. Rena was a vibrant, friendly woman who enjoyed talking and visiting with all she came in contact with. She would brag on her grandkids and was always very partial to them.
