He preceded her in death on Dec. 8, 1986.
She was a long-time member of the First Assembly of God Church. She enjoyed counted cross stitch as well as matting and framing. She also enjoyed cross word puzzles.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a brother, C. Eugene Triplett; and a sister, Maxine Larsen.
Friends would say that knowing Reta inspired them to be a better person. Reta's hallmark was her ever present positive attitude and smile. Her proudest accomplishment was raising her son. A major source of her fulfillment in life was having a loving son.

The family will receive friends from 9 a.m. until service time on Saturday at the church. Friends may call after 10:30 a.m. today at the Carson-Wall Funeral Home.
