Theopempti “Pepi” Reier (nee Angelidis) age 48 of Montville on Saturday, July 19, 2008 at the Hackensack Medical Center with her husband, family and friends at her side.

She was born in Lefkohori, Greece and came to this country in 1975 settling with her aunt Agathi and Uncle Constantine Glezakos in Huntington Beach, CA having later moved to Hackensack, NJ to live with her brother Athanasios(Tommy) before moving to Montville ten years ago.

Pepi helped her brother Tommy who was the owner of the Schuyler Diner, Lyndhurst until his tragic passing in an automobile accident. She ran the diner herself for a while then it was sold. During her last days working at the diner she was saying her goodbye’s to all the faithful patrons. John Reier overheard her saying the diner was sold and that she would no longer be working there. He asked her for her phone number as he had been admiring her for quite some time. She gave him her number and they married about a year later.

She had an outgoing and warm personality that made people feel immediately comfortable. Her keen eye for fashion, style, and trends helped with her own business called Pepi’s Trinkets. She sold jewelry, belts, handbags and all sorts of items that she would purchase on buying trips to New York City.

Pepi was the beloved wife of thirteen years to John D. Reier of Montville; loving mother of Alexandra Christina Reier of Montville; devoted daughter of Polidoros and Kriakoula Angelidis of Lefkohori, Greece; loved sister of Niki Tampa and her husband Georgos of Lefkohori, Greece; cherished aunt of Kyriakoula and her husband Vassilis and Stefanos of Greece and grand-aunt of Georgos and Lefteris both of Greece.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society-North Jersey Chapter, 14 Commerce Drive, Suite 301, Cranford, NJ 07016 would be appreciated.
