She passed away on October 26, 2020 due to complications of POEMS Syndrome, which she battled for many years.
Reta was known for her outgoing sense of humor and her beautiful singing voice. She sang in a quartet with her brothers Jay and Otis, and sister-in-law Linda. She also sang in a trio with her brother Otis and friend Glen Binion. She was retired from New York Life insurance.
Reta and her sister Billie were very close and often stated they couldn't live without each other. Reta passed away about 16 hours of her sister's death.
Reta and Billie were known by many as The Sisters Hume. More often they than not, they were inseparable and strived to entertain the masses. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your memories of them. We know they touched the lives of many people.
Reta was a co-worker of mine for many years and she often kept the workplace fun. I admired many qualities of hers including her wit, organization and training skills. She was just a sweet spirit and loved the Lord. So glad I met Reta and could call her friend.
