Reba McEntire is a unique singer. And all of us know that such people are usually brought up by multi-talented parents. Reba’s father is not an exclusion from this rule. He was the professional cowboy and award-winning steer roper. He was a rancher, too. During the years of his long life, he won three rodeo championships.
He was born in Graham, Oklahoma in the family of two doting parents, John and Alice McEntire. His father was a professional roper, too.
Clark studied at Limestone Gap School. In 2950 he tied a knot with his beloved woman Jacqueline. They parented four kids, and one of them is the heroine of our story Reba McEntire.

Reba was blessed with a great mother. Jacqueline had a long interesting life, which came to an end in March 2020.
She spent the first years of her life in Reynolds, Oklahoma, in the family of George Reba Smith (yes, you’ve guessed it right, the famous singer got her rare name from her maternal grandmother). Jacqueline was just 16 years old when she graduated from Limestone Gap School. Later she joined her peers at Southeastern Oklahoma State College.
After that Jacqueline Smith tied a knot with a handsome cowboy, named Clark. They welcomed four kids, and the major part of her life Mrs. McEntire shared her time between taking care of her children and many kids at school, where she was working as a teacher. In 1973 she retired and began to work at the rancher, assisting her famous husband.
She passed away peacefully in the tight circle of her children and grandchildren.
