She married John Willard Morris in the Salt Lake City temple. John passed away at a young age, leaving Reva to raise their family of ten children alone.
John had been married previously to Carrie Turner who passed away leaving John to raise their young child. Thus upon John's passing, this left Reva to raise their nine children and a step son. The youngest child, at this time, was a baby.
Though there were many children to care for and times were difficult, Reva raised them and taught them the value of hard work. They lived along the Bear River in Almy and spent many hours swimming and ice skating.
Reva worked at the Wyoming State Hospital and Evanston Memorial Hospital. Her children worked at jobs on ranches in the area. Reva did not remarry until after all the children were raised. Four of her sons served in the military.
In her later years Reva married Fred Praeker who also proceeded her in death. His grave is next to Reva and John Morris. Fred is the only grandfather her grandchildren knew.
