1949-2026
Patricia L. “Patti” Reifman, 77, of Bellefontaine, passed away on Monday, April 20, 2026, in Otterbein Green Hills Senior Life Community, West Liberty.
She was born in Manhattan, New York, on February 20, 1949, the daughter of the late Leo Jr. and Mildred Ruth (Easton) Keegan.
In October of 1992, she married Steven Paul Reifman, and he survives, along with her best friend, Mary Livolsi of New York, and Mary’s children, Christine, Jamie, and Matthew, whom Patti adored. She is also survived by dear friends and extended family members who will cherish her memory forever.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Glenn Keegan.
Patti graduated from Syosset High School in 1967 and from Elon College in 1971. She worked as a human resource manager for an informational science company. After retirement, she enjoyed RV’ing with her husband, spending their winters in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, each year. They traveled throughout the country in their RV, and Patti loved her Ragdoll cats. After spending many years in the big city of New York, she and Steve enjoyed retirement with the slower pace and small-town life that Bellefontaine, Ohio, offered them. She also enjoyed watching late-night movies, quilting, and playing games on her PC.
Father Shawn Landenwitch will officiate a graveside service on Wednesday, April 27, 2026, at 11:00 am in Bellefontaine Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to Otterbein Universal Home Health & Hospice, 921 Rush Ave., Bellefontaine, Ohio 43311.
