Reba Allene Arnold Walker, born in Newellton, LA on April 10, 1936, oldest daughter of Gordon and Allene Arnold, loving sister, thoughtful mother, cherished Meme, compassionate nurse and tender hearted friend, passed away on December 25, 2021 surrounded by family.

Reba's lifelong faith in Jesus became sight. Reba joyfully served her community as a nurse. Reba graduated from Mercy hospital-Street Memorial nursing school in Vicksburg, MS. She began her career at Saint Francis Medical Center in Monroe. Reba worked for Dr. F.G. McCarty MD and finished out her career as an Occupational Health Nurse at State Farm Midsouth Regional Office in Monroe, LA. After almost 40 wonderful years of taking care of her friends, she retired and quickly took on her favorite role full time as everyone's favorite Meme.

Reba loved life and enjoyed crocheting cozy blankets for her great grandchildren, sewing beautiful holiday table runners that her grandchildren proudly display and enjoying God's creation while traveling. Her travels took her on several trips to New York City with friends and family, to the beaches of the Caribbean, to the light houses in Nova Scotia and to the glaciers in Alaska, which was by far her all-time favorite trip. The delights of her life were sharing Jesus with others and spending time with her family. If you didn't know her, there are no words to describe her, if you knew her, you don't need words!

Survivors include two daughters, Sandy Hankins and her husband Brant Hankins of Highland Village, TX and Kala Clark and her husband Billy Clark of Lonoke, AR; four grandchildren, Regan Hankins and wife Stephanie Hankins of Edmond, OK, Kelsey Hankins Alexander and husband Austin Alexander of Abilene, TX, Caleb Hankins of Little Elm, TX and Collin Clark of Lonoke, AR; six great-grandchildren, Penelope and Flora Hankins of Edmond, OK and Hank, Parker, Milliekate and BrantleyJo Allene Alexander of Abilene, TX; and a host of loving nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins and longtime friends.

A service to celebrate Reba's life will be held 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at First Baptist Church in Lewisville. A graveside service will then be held 11:00 a.m. Thursday, December 30, 2021 at Legion Memorial Cemetery in Newellton, Louisiana.
