Baerbel Kaete Rehder, née Reiners – Rochester

Baerbel Kaete Rehder, age 95, passed away peacefully in her sleep at Supportive Living of the Charter House on March 16, 2025. She was born May 27, 1929, in Oldenburg, Germany, where she practiced as a registered pediatric nurse. Later, she trained and practiced as a licensed physical therapist. After she had completed her training, she moved to Rochester, MN, where she and Kai were married in 1958. She dedicated her life to raising a wonderful family. She was modest and will always be remembered for placing the needs of others before her own, for being a loving and supportive wife and for proudly raising four boys. She will be missed.
