Together they had three daughters, Jessica, Melissa and Katrina. In 1979 Reba left Georgia with her youngest daughter and they moved to Cody, Wyoming. It was in Cody that she met the love of her life, Lee Alan Walter. They were married in August 1981. Reba enjoyed camping, hiking, fishing, skiing, bowling, sewing and quilting.
