Vietta Reising

Vietta Jeanette (Loudenbeck) Reising, 91, Richland Center, left her earthly home and was welcomed into God’s Heavenly Kingdom on Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025. Her loving personality and kindness to all was her trademark. She strived every day to love the Lord with all of her heart, mind, soul, and strength.

Vietta was born in Belvidere, Ill., on April 14, 1934, to Joseph and Irene (Plumley) Loudenbeck. Vietta met and fell in love with the handsome farm boy down the road, Frank Reising. They were married on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 1953, at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Hartland, Ill. Together they raised eight children in a loving Christian home.

She was truly a loving wife and mother. Next to God, nothing meant more to her. Her faith was always strong, in hard times and good times. She easily made friends and cared deeply for them.

Vietta is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 72 years, Frank; her blessed and grateful children: Debbie (George) Oldham, of Harvard, Ill., Steve (Judy) Reising of Stratford, Lisa (Don) Lacy of Lee, Ill., Carla (Glen) Aumann of Loyal, Rita (Andy) Kellogg of Viola, Barb (Bill) Trindal of De Pere, and Bert (Cole) Reising of Oelwein, Iowa; son-in-law, John (Deb) Franseen of Stratford; 32 grandchildren; 58 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; sisters, Verda Blazier and Shirley Rice; brother, LaVerne (Betty) Loudenbeck; sister-in-law, Gloria (Bob) Moff; brothers-in-law, Bernard (Roberta) Reising and Kenneth (Virginia) Reising; and a multitude of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
