Reba Bushong Obituary
Born on November 26, 1952, in Kenton, Ohio, Reba was the beloved daughter of the late George and Martha Ralston. She lived a life marked by creativity, devotion to family, and joyful involvement in her community.
Reba was very active in Brownies and Girl Scouts, sharing her time and talents to inspire and encourage young girls. She had a special gift for making every season bright, lovingly decorating her home for holidays and celebrations. An avid crafter, Reba enjoyed making wreaths and beautiful floral arrangements, and she took great pride in her cherished collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia.
Above all, Reba treasured her family. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gary Bushong; her son, George Bushong; and her sister, Robin Shipp.
She leaves behind her devoted daughter, Gwen Bushong, who will carry forward her mother's warmth, creativity, and love.
Services will be held at the convenience of the family. Online condolences may be expressed on Facebook or at SerenityFuneralCare.com.
Reba will be remembered for her kind heart, creative spirit, and the love she shared with all who knew her.
