She was born in Indore, Clay County, on August 11, 1918 to the late Alexander (Dodd) and Maggie Neal, who both preceded her in death. On January 29, 1938, she wed Howard Shaffer, to whom she was married for 36 years until his death in 1974. In addition to her parents and husband, she was also preceded in death by her grandson, Charles Shaffer, in 1975, and four siblings, Stella Neal Hemmings, Opal Neal Baker, Hollis Neal, and Roscoe Neal.

Reba was a member of the Baptist Church and sang in the choir in each of the places where she lived. Her faith was very important to her and she dedicated much of her time to her church and to studying the Bible.
