Reva loved God and attending Church at Summer Shade Church of Christ.
She married the love of her life, Charlie Truman Brown on May 27, 1952, and just celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary.
Reva enjoyed cooking, especially on Sundays when her family would gather around her table after church. She also enjoyed making quilts, always having one prepared for the special moments in her family's lives. Gardening was another passion of hers.
