Family of Teri Lee Reymann

Teri Lee Reymann passed away unexpectedly on July 3, 2026, at the age of 76, following medical complications. Born on June 9, 1950, Teri lived a life marked by love, creativity, laughter, and unwavering devotion to her family.

Teri was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Juanice Williams, along with her brothers, Richard Williams and Ronald Williams.

She was the beloved wife of Stephen Wayne Reymann, with whom she shared 41 wonderful years of marriage. Their relationship was built on love, friendship, laughter, and unwavering support. Together they created a home filled with warmth, cherished memories, and unconditional love.

Teri was a devoted mother to John Michael Williams of Sonora, California; Amber Elizabeth Tangen, Kimberly Rae Stone, and Ericka Jean Reymann of Helena, Montana. She took immense pride in her children and treasured every moment with them.

She was an incredibly proud grandmother to Tyler Redding, Alexa Tangen, Tucker Tangen, Brenden Stone, Tanner Tangen, Carter Thorsteinson, Alanna Tangen, and Anabella Tangen. Her grandchildren were among life’s greatest blessings, each holding a special place in her heart.

She is also survived by her siblings, Robert Merrill of Ohio, Carrie Chapman of Nebraska, and Jeri Butler of California.

A gifted quilter, talented entrepreneur, and accomplished artisan, Teri expressed her love through everything she created. She had an extraordinary eye for color, design, and detail, creating beautiful quilts—many painstakingly stitched entirely by hand. Her artistry, patience, and craftsmanship transformed fabric into treasured family heirlooms. She also enjoyed collecting sewing machines, appreciating the history and craftsmanship behind each one.

Animals held a special place in Teri’s heart. For more than a decade, she was a respected show rabbit breeder who earned a wonderful reputation within the rabbitry community through her knowledge, dedication, and exceptional care. Her love of animals continued throughout her life as she hand-raised several breeds of indoor birds with extraordinary patience and compassion. She also found joy in caring for her beloved dogs, cherished chickens, and the many animals that became part of her family.

Music was another of Teri’s greatest joys. She loved to sing and was happiest when surrounded by music. She also loved to laugh, cook for the people she loved, tend her beautiful flowers, and fill her home with warmth, delicious meals, and welcoming hospitality.

Even while facing physical challenges in her later years, Teri met life with remarkable strength, grace, and a smile that could brighten any room. Those who knew her will remember her generous heart, joyful spirit, creativity, and remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome.

Teri leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, family, and treasured memories that will continue to comfort all who knew her. Her quilts warmed our bodies, her songs lifted our spirits, her love for animals reflected the kindness of her heart, and her unwavering love for her family will remain with us always.

A memorial service celebrating Teri’s life will be held on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow immediately at Forestvale Cemetery, with a private event afterward at Vanilla Bean Bakery. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of Teri, share cherished memories, and honor the beautiful life and legacy she leaves behind.

She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial donations to assist family members traveling to Montana to celebrate Teri’s life and attend her services. Your love, support, and generosity are deeply appreciated during this difficult time.
