Reba was born on February 3, 1940, to Everett and Ida (Strong) Lawson in Cushing, OK. She grew up and attended school in Cushing. After school, Reba married Cecil McBride and to this union three children were born: Larry, Deborah, and Mark. She earned a living as a hairdresser and later owned her own beauty salon.

For numerous years, she worked as a counselor for an adult living center. Reba eventually retired and moved back to Cushing.
