Reva was fiercely proud of the farm that she and Harold purchased and developed with much hard work over 67 years. After Harold’s death, she continued to actively supervise the farm activities. She lived for and was so proud of her children and grandchildren. She was a great listener to all of her friends and acquaintances. Reva loved trying new recipes, but will be remembered for her ginger snaps and apple pies. Family history, sewing, and quilting with her granddaughters and her flowers were some of her many interests. Mom was a clever and strong lady.
