Otillia "Tillie" Reineke was born on September 27, 1924 near Coon Rapids, Iowa, the daughter of John and Anna (Muhr) Lengel. She grew up near Coon Rapids, and attended Annunciation Catholic School. On April 10, 1945, Tillie was united in marriage to Edward Reineke at Annunciation Catholic Church in Coon Rapids. The couple made their home southeast of Dedham where they were active in grain and livestock farming.
On December 1, 1952 Tillie and Edward moved to their farm south of Carroll. Tillie remained there until Ed's death on June 16, 1975. Shortly thereafter she moved to Carroll, where she worked at the Elks Lodge, and volunteered at New Hope Village and St. Anthony Hospital. Tillie enjoyed walking, fishing, quilting, embroidery, and bingo. She had a special love for animals. She was an avid gardener until her health no longer permitted her. Tillie was a member of St. John Paul II Parish, Holy Spirit, and a member of the Holy Spirit Ladies Guild.
Left to celebrate Tillie's life are her four sons: Ronald (Mary) Reineke of Plattsmouth, NE, Richard (Mary) Reineke of Springfield, NE, Raymond (Janice) Reineke of Council Bluffs, and Russell Reineke, and his special friend Linda Collins of Carroll; 13 grandchildren; 42 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; sister-in-law: Marie Nieland of Storm Lake; and Tillie's good friend, Jackie Reineke of Carroll; as well as many nieces, nephews, and other extended family members.
