Allene June Reiter
Allene June Reiter went to meet her Lord and Savior in Heaven on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family. Allene was born on June 21, 1942, in Cody, Wyoming, to parents James Allen Peery and Dorothy Peery. She was joined by sister Reva “Jane” in 1943.
Her early years in life took place in Wyoming: from Cody to Laramie through first grade, then to Wheatland on a cattle ranch. She and Jane were raised by their father and his parents, and they moved to the Shepherd, Montana area in 1957. She attended Shepherd High School and graduated as valedictorian of her class in 1960.
Through the matchmaking skills of a “Reiter cousin” (Nancy Kirby) and Allene’s sister, Jane, Allene would meet her lifetime partner and farmer, William “Bill” Edward Reiter. They married on Oct. 14, 1960. They had three children: Timothy, Brenda and Jeanette “JJ.” Bill and Allene later chose to go their separate ways, but remarried on Nov. 21, 1987, this time with God at the helm of their marriage for the remainder of her life. read more
