She is survived by her husband, Benny, and their children, Jeannie Powell, Sherrie Effinger and husband Bart, Mickie Foris and husband Chris; also, five grandchildren, Josh Effinger and Amanda, Shiann Johnson and Jake, Tyler Shann and Cherish, Masen Foris, and Dillon Foris; six great grandchildren, Bethany Effinger, Addisyn Effinger, Rayleigh Effinger, Samuel Johnson, Mikah Johnson and Chase Shann; a sister and brother-in-law, Betty and Jim Barnes; brothers and sisters-in-law, Sonny and Larenda Bowen and Joe and Anita Bowen. Reta enjoyed her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and going bowling and crappie fishing with Benny.

She is forever in our hearts.
