After completing her primary years in school, she attended Wakefield City High School of which later in years she would work as a higher level teaching assistant as well as a special needs assistant in primary schools. From Wakefield city high she then started a job as a packer at a warehouse in 1985.
She got married in 1989 and had a son of which she named Michael. Years passed and she divorced in 1994.
In 1997 Rea was hospitalized with pneumonia and almost died. In May/June of that same year Rea lost my father due to a heart attack.
In 2007 Rea met Andrew Day and they fell in love. The two conceived their first baby, Scarlett Rose in 2009, but due to DVT blood clots in Rea's lungs unfortunately they lost their little girl. After their miscarriage Rea married Andrew in December of that same year to turn their very sad loss into a happy event. In 2014 Rea had a serious Pulmonary Embolism in both her lungs and arteries to her heart. It took almost 2 years to completely recover from pain but now to this day Rea has pleurisy as a result of this. As well as having Pulmonary Embolisms she also got diagnosed with Lymphodema as a result of bad circulation of which she takes blood thinners that have no antidote if Rea cuts herself, the blood thinners are now her life-long medication. Later in December of that same year Rea met up with her best friend Margaret and they celebrated the new year 2015 in together. In the later part of January of 2015 Margaret contacted Dennis Hatch Christen to ask him to help if he could get Rea's art recognized as she is also a portrait artist. Rea received an email from Dennis stating that he would like to hire her to do junior novel illustrations on his upcoming junior novel " London's Bridge And The Three Keys ". Rea was delighted and obviously accepted. Then in 2016 she got a bad skin ulcer on her shin part of her leg and to this date she still has it but it does not stop her from doing the things she loves the most - Drawing !
