Judith Rieke Obituary
Judith “Judi” Lee Rieke, 86, passed away on October 4, 2025. Born on August 2, 1939, in Germany to Richard Murdock and Martha Kemmerling, Judi was raised in Bronson, Michigan, where she built her roots and her love for family and life’s simple joys.
Judi enjoyed the thrill of NASCAR racing, the relaxation of boating, and the companionship of her beloved dogs. She was known for her carefree and easygoing nature, and she leaves behind a lifetime of memories that her family and friends will cherish.
She is survived by her three sons, James, Howard, and Jeffrey; twelve grandchildren; and eighteen great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bernard Rieke, and her daughter, Vicki Lansen.
Judi’s legacy will live on through the stories shared, the love of her family, and the mark she left on all who knew her.
Private services will be held. Online condolences may be shared with the family by visiting www.tributefuneralhomes.com
1000 N. Broadway Street, Greenville, OH 45331
