Reyna moved to the U.S. and lived in Arlington, Virginia in the early 70s where she established residence until she married her husband John in 1975. Reyna and John moved to Villa Park, Illinois in 1976, where John ended 8 years of duty with the US Army and enrolled in the University of Illinois in Jan 1977. Reyna gave birth to their son Richard in 1978. John completed school in 1979 and in January 1980, John, Reyna and Ricky relocated back to Virginia where they lived until her passing.

Reyna was a loving, kind, generous outgoing person and a true servant of the Lord. She loved to entertain friends in her home in Lorton Virginia and was devoted to the love of her life—her husband, her son and grandson. She welcomed all with love and open arms at her house always. She touched so many lives as she never hesitated to help anyone who crossed her path or reached out to her.
