Beverly Marie Rehm

Beverly Marie Rehm passed to her heavenly home April 23, 2025. She was born April 10, 1940, in the prairie town of Hebron, ND to Buster and Doris Keith, the first of their six children. Her grandmother owned the Green Lantern Cafe, and her parents owned the Columbia Hotel and Buster's Bar in Hebron. In the 8th grade she got her first job working concessions at the Mayer Theater. She later worked as a medical assistant at the local clinic. She married local farm boy, Bill Rehm in 1959 upon his return from service in the US Army, after being stationed in Germany. She gave birth to daughter Brooke Ellen, January 1, 1960, at Saint Mary's Cathedral Monastery in Richardton, ND. She delighted in telling the story of the nuns excitedly delivering the New Year's Baby. Two years later, she gave birth to son Brent Keith in Pendelton, OR.

Bill became a respected auctioneer and judge of purebred cattle and together they built Rehm Sale Service, having ownership in Beaverhead Livestock Auction, as well. Over the years, they acquired agricultural properties in Gallatin, Jefferson, and Beaverhead Counties. They were partners in business and in life.

In 1976 she decided to complete the college education she began at Dickinson State Teachers College, earning a degree in Elementary Education from Western Montana College. She was known by her younger classmates as the student who took her studies seriously and was a favorite among her professors.

Her home of over 50 years on the corner of Parkview Ct and Walnut St was a popular gathering place, especially on Halloween where she cheerfully welcomed hundreds of annual Trick or Treaters.

She was deeply devoted to her late husband of 56 years, her children and grandchildren. Her great grandchildren knew that a visit to Grandma Bev's resulted in a trip to the park, Dairy Queen, or Dollar Tree. She treasured her relationships with her First Presbyterian Church Community, bridge partners, coffee buddies, walking partners, and her beloved sister-in-law, Betty Rehm.

She is survived by daughter Brooke (Cal) Erb, and son Brent (Mary) Rehm; grandchildren Bethany Erb, Collin (Chelsea) Erb, Brynn (Jordan) Lee, Brandon Rehm and Morgan Rehm; great grandchildren Grace O'Donovan, Bryleigh Erb, Chayse Erb, Collsea Erb, Holden Lee, Lorelei Lee, and Lilith Lee; siblings Sharon Hehn, Bruce Keith, Kelly Keith, and Kerry Gietzen. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and brother Neal Keith.

A celebration of life will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, May 5th at 11:00 am. A lunch reception will follow at The Andrus Gathering Place. Gifts in memoriam may be made to First Presbyterian Church of Dillon, Beaverhead County 4-H Foundation or Friends of Jaycee Park.
