On May 4, 2018, Reita S. Leavitt passed on into the arms of Our Heavenly Father.

Reita was born on October 23, 1929, to Edward and Rozelia Lee Leavitt in Afton Wyoming.

She grew up there on the family ranch with her parents, older sister Jean and older brother Dean. It is also where she met her husband, the late Verl Leavitt. They lived in Afton most of their children's younger years before moving to Soda Springs, Idaho in 1963.

Reita and Verl both enjoyed camping throughout most of their lives. Reita was a very active lady, from a young girl following her daddy everywhere, to raising children while working the ranch with her husband and later in life as a Sunday School teacher and dance director of her ward.

In her final years, Reita took great joy in being a Pink Lady and all of the activities that position brought. She also enjoyed making quilts with her daughter for the chemotherapy ward of the Salt Lake City VA.

Reita was a kind and loving woman who leaves behind a large family. Her daughters Verlene, Karen, and Betty, as well as her sons Bob and Brent along with their children and grandchildren, will miss her dearly.

Reita was preceded in death by her husband Verl, her son Dan and her great-granddaughter Brooke Jean.

Services will be held Tuesday, May 8th at 11:00 am at Sims Funeral Home with graveside services to follow at 2:30 pm in the Afton Wyoming Cemetery.
