Maxine Clara Reoh, 97, of Townsend, Montana died Sunday, August 9th, 2015
Maxine was born March 7th, 1918 in Watertown, South Dakota. She was the fourth daughter of Charles and Inga Tenney. She grew up and received her education in Vienna, South Dakota.
Maxine was united in marriage with Walter H. Reoh on March 10th, 1936 in Hayti, South Dakota. Together they had five children, Karen, Sharon, Charles, Ramona, and Lana. They lived in Vienna, South Dakota several years before moving to Rapid City, South Dakota where they lived through the devastating flood of 1972. In 1986 Maxine and Walter made their final move to Townsend, Montana.
Among the many things Maxine loved to do, some of her favorite were spending time with family playing cards and bowling. She bowled on a league with family and friends until she was in to her 80’s before retiring her bowling ball. She always found something funny in everything and had an infectious laugh.
Maxine also loved her pet parakeets. She taught them to talk, give kisses, and even share pieces of her toast.
She is survived by 3 children, Karen Bradley, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Charles (Barb) Reoh, of Rapid City, South Dakota, Ramona Maddox of Townsend, Montana, and several grand children, great grand children, and great great grand children.

Thank you for sharing your grandmother, mother and friend with us. Maxine filled in for the grandmas we left in E Montana. She loved our 3 kids with the sweetest love. She made church fun, invited us to her house for tea parties, remembered their birthdays and holidays. Maxine filled any space she was in with her warm smile and hugs. She was a grand lady in every way.
