Reba Jo Williams

GEDCOM Note

After she and Bruce were divorced when I was about 3, she married Walter Setzer and had 5 more children. Most of the time they lived in the Monterey Bay area, moving to Los Angeles in the 60’s for a while then back to Prunedale.

After Walt died in the mid 60s, she moved back to Los Angeles and returned to work at Hughes Aircraft. She lived in the LA area when she met Ted and married him in the mid 70s. They had a home in Gardena.

When Ted retired due to health, they moved to Oak Harbor, WA. She lived there until the mid 1990's when she moved over to the mainland and lived in the Mt Vernon/Bellingham area.

She loved to dance and met Clarence when he was 95 at a local senior’s dance. They were together until his health required him to move to assisted living. She lived in a senior living residence until she had a severe aneurysm an had to go to a rehab facility.

She got interested in watercolor painting in her later years and was quite a good artist.
