In Ravalli County, Reba met Carl Henry Falk. They married on August 3rd, 1946.

Reba was mainly a "stay at home" Mom until her children were old enough for her to work outside the home.

Reba loved camping, picnics, holidays, cooking, scenic drives and just being with her family. She ventured as far as Disney World to be with fmi1y and grandchildren. She would go horseback riding on pack trips to mountain lakes to be with Hank. She tried most anything and made it fun. She had tons of knickknacks for every holiday and her homemade pies and potato salad were extra special. Reba was always up for a good practical joke. She had many friends throughout the Valley.
Reba was the pillar of the family. She not only helped in times of need for her sons and daughter, she extended her love and support to grandchildren, relatives and friends in tough times. Her house was always open for support. In every role she was professional and displayed competence in all she did. We were all so fortunate to have her.
