She was born January 11, 1927 at Harrisburg, South Dakota the daughter of George and Edna Schumaker Amen. She grew up on the family farm outside of Carthage, South Dakota with her father and two brothers, Fred and Lester. During World War II she worked in Minnesota at a factory making bombs.

Nate and Reva bought their first and last home in Newcastle. Reva loved her home and the family she raised there. As a young mother she loved to follow her boys in their wrestling career and her daughter in swimming. She worked at the First State Bank as a teller for fifteen years. She was a member and a past matron of Newcastle Chapter #30, Order Of The Eastern Star and was also a member of First United Methodist Church.
Reva loved to crochet and had many beautiful projects to show off. She quilted and liked to garden but mostly she loved the family gatherings. She enjoyed dancing, music and would sometimes play a tune on the piano.
In later years, many people would come to Reva's house. She always and time for a cup of coffee and a homemade chocolate chip cookie or an Oreo. Her kitchen table will be remembered and missed by many.
