Marie Louise Baune Konesky (affectionately nicknamed Reeber by family and friends) passed from this world on Sunday, August 10, 2025, just four days shy of her 80th birthday. She made her home at Overland Court Senior Living in Boise, Idaho, since January 2023.

Marie was born on August 14, 1945, in Great Falls, Montana, to Cecelia (Gertrude) Tacke Baune and Frank Baune. She grew up just a mile and a half outside of Sun River, where her childhood was filled with small-town charm, wide-open spaces, and plenty of adventures. She attended grade school in Sun River and graduated from Simms High School with the Class of 1963.

After business school in Great Falls, she began her career at the Montana Farmer-Stockman, serving Montanas farmers and ranchers until 1974, when she married Tom Konesky
