Mary Jo Reinke, age 80, went to be with her Lord Tuesday, May 6, 2025. Mary was preceded in death by her parents George and Florence Kleekamp; sister, Joyce Lockhart; and granddaughter, Kristin Joy Hatfield. She will be remembered by her husband, Ralph Reinke; children Tamara (John) Stottlemeyer and Robert (Sharon) Smith; grandchildren; great-grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, and friends. Mary had four stepchildren and step-grandchildren.
Mary Jo loved to craft. She made beautiful quilts, stained glass, and was an avid sewer. She was also fond of ceramics and a proud member of the Red Hats.
A private family celebration of Mary’s life will commence at a time and date to be determined. In honor of Mary and in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Angels of the Streets Rescue. The family welcomes memories and messages at www.cookcaresbyron.com in their guestbook online.
