Precious Memories

While we know mom is at peace,

there is pain and sadness. But even

though she is gone, she left a strong

legacy of her love and perseverance.

The many ways she touched our

lives will remain, and I ask you to

keep those memories alive by sharing

them with me and each other. I

will end with mom's favorite phrase,

“I love you, and there is nothing

you can do about it.

-Twyla

Mrs. Reva Freeman Locklear was born December 8, 1930, in Pearson

GA. She was the third child born to Mr. Judge Freeman, Sr. and

Reatha Joseph Freeman. Mrs. Locklear received her elementary and

attending college at Alabama State University, where she received her

BS degree in Elementary Education, she began teaching elementary

grades at home in Pearson, GA. During this time Mrs. Locklear

became united in Holy Wedlock to Barney Locklear. Two daughters

were born to this union: Twyla Locklear and Antigone (Tigi) Locklear.

Mrs. Locklear continued her education by pursuing a Master’s Degree

in Secondary Education at Valdosta State College (Civil War and

Reconstruction and Contemporary Problems in World History).

Mrs. Locklear continued her teaching career by relocating to DeKalb

County, GA in 1978 and later relocated to Valdosta, GA, where she

taught for two years. Mrs. Locklear then returned to DeKalb County

to teach once again. In 1996 Mrs. Locklear was selected to Who’s

Who Among America’s Teachers. After more than 40 years in

time with her mother and her two daughters, shopping and going out to

eat.
