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

Obituary For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under
heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time
to pluck up what is planted. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
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
high school education at the Atkinson County Training School. After
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
education, she retired in 2001. Upon retiring, she enjoyed spending
time with her mother and her two daughters, shopping and going out to
eat.
