Reba L. Saxon Magee was born in Union Church, MS, on May 30, 1932 to the late Leland and Ethel Saxon. After graduating high school in 1950, she married the love of her life, Warren M. Magee, Sr., and they spent two years in Blackstone, VA as he served in the U.S. Army. After moving to Jackson in 1952, she worked as an office manager throughout the years at several companies in the Jackson area. She loved her family fiercely and especially loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Jackson until her health prevented her from being able to attend.
