Ralph and Reba Ferrell

Ralph and Reba Ferrell are both graduates of Blooming Grove High School. Ralph went on to receive a BS in 1961 and a PhD in 1966 while Reba deferred her education to support Ralph’s career goals. After a 20-year delay, Reba graduated with highest honors from McNeese State University. Although she is not a Texas Ex, Reba has strong ties to the University through her husband; her daughter Lisa Ferrell Bacic, BBA ’86, MBA ’88; and her son-in-law Chris Bacic, BA ’86, Life Member. The Ferrells have paid tribute to the Cockrell School of Engineering, where Ralph is a distinguished alumnus. Their profound commitment to education is further demonstrated through scholarship funding at Blooming Grove High School and support to Navarro College. Reba and Ralph are both Life Members of the Texas Exes.
