Judi Ann Reifer

Judi Ann Reifer has passed on to meet up with her father, mother, and brother. Judi was born in Great Falls, Montana on September 10, 1960.

When Judi was one year old, the family moved from Great Falls to a farm in Fort Shaw. She attended Fort Shaw Elementary, graduated from Simms High School, and attended Great Falls Vocational Technical School for a time after graduation. She held many jobs in Great Falls including Buttrey’s Warehouse, Pennington’s, County Market, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Benefis Hospital, Malteurop, and numerous motels. She was proficient in accounts payable, accounts receivable, cashier, office administration, and night auditor. Her health slowed her down over the past six years, but she gained strength to return to work after two major crises. Her mother was one of thirteen children, and Judi so enjoyed family gatherings of the Rector clan, typically at their cabin in the mountains near Utica, Montana for the Fourth of July. She also loved her many cats through the years, most recently Sassi and Clementine.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Kent and Leota Reifer; and her older brother, Rickey Reifer. She is survived by a sister, Shirley (Bill) Clarkson of Richland, WA; a niece, Stephanie (David Schmidt) Clarkson of Moscow, ID; nephew, Artie (Patty) Clarkson of Dayton, Ohio; nephew, TJ (Brooke) Reifer of Fort Shaw; niece, Heidi Shaffer and family; niece, Heather Kelley and family; great-nieces; and great-nephews.

Special thanks to Don and Terry for their oversight, caring, and hours of assistance to Judi.

A Celebration of her life and time to share memories of Judi will take place on Sunday afternoon, November 20, 2022, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the O’Haire Motor Inn, located at 17 7 ^th Street South in Great Falls, Montana.
