She was a 4th generation Houstonian, born in the Heights, graduating from John Reagan High School in 1942. Reba's nickname in high school was "Happy" and she never met a stranger. Her smile lit up every room and her spirit was contagious. She loved music, singing, dancing and babies.
Reba worked for many years at Rice University and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. She followed her husband, the Colonel, around the world including living in Izmir, Turkey where she was the president of American Wives Club. She was a member of many charitable and civic organizations in Montgomery County. She was the founder of the annual Christmas Cookie Walk in Montgomery and former Montgomery Historical Society member and key contributor. Reba was president of the Montgomery Garden Club. Her civic and charitable contributions are too numerous to list.
She is survived by her husband of 67 years, Col. Ramon M. Laughter USAF Retired, daughter Rebecca Ray; sons Ramon L. Laughter and wife Diane and Randall Laughter and wife Beverly, seven grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
The family wishes to thank Becky Dahl & numerous caregivers who helped & supported Reba.

I met Mrs. Reba and Col. many years ago when I was a checker at Safeway Conroe leaving there and going to Allied Bank Conroe thru Wells Fargo. Mrs. Reba was always pleasant and I always enjoyed seeing and helping them. Wonderful couple and I know that she'll be missed.

What a beautiful lady, inside and out. As I read and remember about her life, I'm reminded of what a full and exciting life she had. I'll always remember her smile and her laugh. She had a way about her that made you feel good. Forever in my heart Aunt Reba.

It is so sad to think that Reba is no longer with us. She had that wonderful smile and always a kind work about everyone. Her incredible energy and of course her devotion to her equally wonderful husband Ramond. She will be missed.
