Her family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Western Maryland Health System for all they've done for her and the care they've given her this past week. Her nurses, Vanessa, Jill, Ronna, Brianna, Jess, Tanya, Zach and Tori. And for the kindness and care they have given her family at a most difficult time. They would like to also thank the staff at Devlin Nursing Home for the care given over this last year. According to Reta's wishes her body has been donated to science and organ donation. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Reta's family thanks everyone for their prayers, messages, calls, and condolences. Cumberland Times-News, February 27, 2016
