Reba McEntire's Siblings Are Also Musically Talented - More about Her 2 Sisters and Brother

Award-winning musician Reba McEntire began her remarkable career singing in a musical group with her brother and sister, who also successfully went solo. However, one McEntire sibling seems to have never ventured into music.

Oklahoma native Reba McEntire comes from a solid familial background. She was raised on a ranch in a family of six and was one of four siblings: her sisters, Alice and Susie, and her brother, Pake.

Born to Jacqueline and Clark McEntire, they all cultivated an enduring bond with one another. In addition to using music to share inspiring stories about their lives, they have also provided unwavering support for each other.

Susie McEntire

Susie, a.k.a. Susie McEntire Eaton, began singing with Pake and Reba as a teen; they called themselves the Singing McEntires. It's unclear what happened to the musical group, but Susie continued singing with Reba after graduating from Oklahoma State University.

Reba had reached superstardom by then, and the sisters performed on several TV shows together. Eventually, Susie went solo and branched into country gospel music, earning numerous awards from CCMA, GMA, and TNN.

Susie also wed and had three children, but her marriage was difficult. She and her former husband attempted to fix their problems and even went for counseling, but it didn't work. They separated twice before finally divorcing.

"After 25 years of marriage, I could not continue to be in a situation of verbal and mental abuse and remain healthy. I had to make a choice to do what was best for me and my children," she said. Susie is now married to presenter Mark Eaton, who also has three adult children.

Alice Foran

Alice appears to be the only McEntire sibling who didn't venture into music. However, her role in her siblings' lives has been profound. She, Reba, and Susie once appeared on the "Jesus Calling Podcast" and gave insight into their relationship.

Susie touched on her first marriage and shared that Alice "afforded" her a way out, but she didn't take it. She noted how it was one of many instances where Alice took care of her and Reba. "For some reason, I could go to you before I could to my mama," Susie reflected.

Alice felt she was "always meant to be a mama," adding that she "practiced" on her siblings. "A mama always looks at their children that they're perfect but understands that they're not, you know, but we hurt when you're hurting," she said.

Alice also felt that her experience disciplining and taking responsibility for her siblings prepared her for motherhood with her own children, particularly her daughter Haley, who was born with "a multitude of disabilities."

Pake McEntire

Pake became a musician like Reba and Susie; however, he also dreamed of becoming a World Champion Steer Roper. He released a memoir in August 2014 titled "Heroes & High Bobbin' Good Times."

The book chronicled his life from childhood with his three sisters to his career and role as a father to three daughters and a son. Like Pake, Reba also has a son, Shelby Blackstock, with her former husband, Narvel Blackstock. Before Narvel, she was married to Charlie Battles. She's now dating Rex Linn.
