She was a great grandmother to Jayden, Julian, Josiah, Elijah Ford and Jaxxson Maxwell.
In her free time, Reba enjoyed various hobbies, including traveling, playing canasta, engaging in games, and building puzzles. These activities brought her immense joy and allowed her to create lasting memories with her loved ones.
