Reba Foreman (nee Holland)

In the many places she lived she was an avid and willing volunteer. She had a reputation for always being available for those jobs no one else wanted to do, and she was a hard worker, but, OH! she certainly loved to make that work fun. She had a profound impact on all the people around her.

Reba also had an exceptional green thumb. If you ever had a chance to visit her at home you were instantly faced with a garden filled with beautiful plants. “How did you get that to grow?” was often the query, which got the frequent response “Oh, I just scattered/threw/flipped the seeds and they came up.” Many of us wish that talent had been passed on to us!

Reba was able to travel to many places with Bob and her daughters & family. She became quite the jet-setter, in her own way, participating in adventures (sometimes unwillingly) and creating so many good and funny memories we can look back on. Everywhere she went she made people feel like they were worthwhile. She was loved more than she knew.

After a short battle with cancer she passed peacefully into the Arms of Jesus, surrounded by family who love and miss her very much.

Reba is survived by Bob (husband of 64 years), daughters Terry-Lynn (Martin) & Tracey (Vern), grandchildren Stephanie, Nathanael, Josiah (Mollie) and Samantha (Adam) and 6 great-grandchildren.

At peace, dancing in heaven.
