In Memory Of

Reba Sept, age 79, of Circle.

May 20, 1940 – December 28, 2019

Reba Sept, age 79, of Circle, MT passed away December 28, 2019 unexpectedly. Reba was born May 20, 1940 in Circle, MT to Virgil and Ruby Horsford Merry.

At the age of three, Reba and her siblings, Claude and Lana went to live with their grandparents Hayne and Berta Merry.   Reba attended school in Circle, MT.  On December 27, 1957 Reba married Bill Sept in Miles City, MT.  To this union, six children were born; Debra, June, Sue, Larry, Jana, and Angie.  They made their home on the farm southwest of Brockway until 2006 when they moved to Circle.  Reba was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.  She loved to cook.  She would always have a meal ready and would put on a massive meal for us at special occasions.  No one went home hungry!  She was passionate about her yard, growing the most spectacular flowers.  She loved her cats on the farm and when she moved to town, would adopt a stray cat or two.  Singing was another passion, as she would play her records and wail out a tune.  She was always singing.  She also participated in a few of the plays that were held in Brockway.  She was interested in her kids and grandkids activities.  Attending talent shows, bump and run races, football, and basketball games.  Her family will miss her dearly!

Reba was preceded in death by her parents, infant daughter, Debra, brother Claude Merry, and half-brother, Troy Lindsey. She is survived by her husband, Bill of Circle, MT; sister Lana Craig of Goodyear, AZ; her children, June (Chuck) Geer of Vida, MT; Sue (Vernon)French of Brockway, MT; Larry Sept of Brockway, MT; Jana (Bob) Wilson of Brockway, MT; Angie (Bryce) Thompson of Billings, MT.  Her grandchildren, Nichole Geer, Brenda (Rod Smith) Geer, Justina (Nate) Tuttle, Billie (Kane) Mury, Pamela Richardson, Nathanial Wilson, and Ashley Gosnell.  Her great-grandchildren, Tristan and Beau Sikveland, Hayden, Austyn, and Britton Lockie, Tucker, Taylor and Natalie Mury, Grady, Jacee, Emry and Hiram Richardson.  She is also survived by four half-sisters, Darlene Hamburg of Hardin, MT; Linda Rash of Grand Junction, CO; Sherry Putman on Las Cruces, NM; and Billie Lindsey of Albuquerque, NM.  One uncle, Edgar Horsford and his wife Wanda of Hale Center TX.  Also surviving Reba are her nieces and nephews.

    Billy, June, Sue, Larry, Jana, Angie, and families: I am so very sorry for the loss of wife, mom and grandma. I will truly miss her and our visits!! She would always say hi MEME!!!! whenever she saw me and would giggle. Great neighbor and friend. Spent many times playing with Larry and “Susie” while mom and her would work on her new house or while her and Billy and mom and dad would play cards. Got scolded for getting into her makeup kit with Sue!!! I know you will think of so many great memories with her to help ease the pain. She has a beautiful family and she has made you all who you are today!! God’s blessings as you grieve the loss of a remarkable woman. She has left her mark on this world for sure!! Hugs to your family; God’s peace surround you.
