Bio contributed by Scott Maxwell (43707576)

Having never married, Rieke became a career woman. Starting in 1917, she took a job in the accounting department at the Chicago Northwestern Railroad and worked there for the next 52 years. She finally retired at the age of 72.

Rieke now spends a lot of her time knitting, and last year alone made nearly 100 scarves for the Salvation Army. She lives on Hillside Avenue, in the house that was built brand new for her in the 1950s.

Rieke’s family is made up of a wide range of nephews, nieces and great nephews and great nieces.
