It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Reba Glover, on October 14, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her children—just as we had hoped.
Reba was born on November 4, 1932, to William Paul Anderson and Clara (Logston) Anderson. She was preceded in death by her brother, Francis Richard Anderson of California; her best friend and sister, Margie Lollini; her husband, Wilbur “Bob” Glover, who passed away on August 16, 2008; and her son, Gary Glover. Reba and Bob were married on April 21, 1951, and shared 57 wonderful years together.
Reba attended Warren Consolidated High School in Tiltonville, where she played clarinet in the band and cheered for the Ramblers sports teams. After high school, she married Bob and became a devoted homemaker and mother of four. Her home was spotless, her meals always ready, and her love endless. She had a famous saying whenever anyone tried to relax: “You gotta keep up with it!”
Later in life, Reba worked at St. John’s Hospital as a salad preparer—a job she loved dearly. She even earned Salad Preparer of the Year, which still makes us smile. She was also a proud member of the Card Club with her sister Margie and many dear friends.
Reba and Bob were blessed with four children: Gary (deceased) and wife Kathy of Rayland; Richard of Rayland; Andrea Kendjorsky and companion Bernie DeLong; and Robert “Robbie” and wife Theresa of Weirton.
She is also survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, including:
• Travis (wife Geri) of Texas, and children Ethan (wife Arlayna), Mason, Jaxon, Brynlee, Syrus, and Sutton (deceased) of Tennessee; Cannon (fiancée Kayla) of Kansas; and Lucian.
• Greg (fiancée Amber) of Rayland, and children Rylee, Raelyn, and Gary.
• Aaron (wife Korena) of Rayland, and children Carter and Karlie.
• Bradley (wife Stephanie) of Grove City, and children Cowen and Marin.
• Robbie II of Weirton and children Robbie III and Benny.
• Stephanie (husband Jordan Savage) and children Noah and Blake.
• Nikki (husband Ryan Rokisky) and children Beau and Brooks.
• Henry of Tilttonsville.
• Nathan (wife Katie) of Delaware, Ohio, and children Olivia, Vivian, and Huxley.
• Michael (wife Brittany) of Columbus, Ohio and children Kaylie and Henry
• Richie (fiancée Amber) of Wintersville and daughter Natalie.
• Jared (wife Chelsea) and children Jax and Finley.
Reba was happiest when she was busy and productive—whether cutting up tomatoes, freezing corn, or gardening. She loved helping however she could. Her greatest joy came from playing Bingo with her friends and daughter Andrea. Known affectionately as “The Bingo Queen,” nothing made her happier than yelling “Bingo!”—especially when she won the coverall (which she did at least once, a story she loved to tell).
Even after losing her driver’s license, Reba and her Bingo crew always found a way to play—sometimes at two different halls in the same day. They had truly reached the pinnacle of Bingo greatness when they pulled off a double-header!
Reba didn’t have an enemy in the world. She was kind, witty, and full of life until the very end. We were blessed to have her for 92 years—a true gift and blessing.
A special thanks to Valley Hospice for their kindness and care during this time. You are angels walking here on Earth.
In keeping with her wishes, Reba was cremated. Arrangements were entrusted to Clarke Funeral Home in Toronto.
A Celebration of Life will be held will be held Sunday November 30, 2025 12(noon) - 2 PM at Hanks Polish Palace (133 Martha Street, Yorkville, Ohio)
