Reba was born in Corpus Christi, Texas to Edwin and Virginia Howard on December 5, 1944. From there the family moved to Kyle. She went to school at Kyle Elementary School, Kyle High School, and graduated from Southwest Texas State University. She married JF Montague in November of 1965 in Kyle, Texas. She worked as a Computer Programmer for the Federal Government for 35 years.

She was a beloved caregiver to many family members and always thought of other’s needs before her own.

Reba is preceded in death by her father Edwin Howard and mother Virginia Cosper Howard.
