Irma Florence Reddoor, 1935-2002. Irma went home to be with our Heavenly Father on August 23, 2002. We will miss her dearly. Our consolation is that she is enveloped in love, peace and joy of the Lord. Her faith was the backbone which withstood physical and earthly obstacles and allowed her to humbly and gracefully cope with the obstacles in dignity. She was born in Poplar, MT to David L. Reddoor, Sr. and Mabel Geraldine Shields on November 9, 1935. Irma grew up in the Poplar, Chelsea and Fort Kipp areas. Irma attended school in Oglala, SD, Poplar, MT, Flandreau Indian School in SD, graduating from Brockton High School in Brockton, MT. She also attended Cook Christian School in Arizona 1954 - 1955. Throughout life Irma attended UCLA, Southern California and graduated from NAES, Poplar, Montana. Irma served in the United States Navy from September 23, 1955 to October 3, 1957. Irma married Robert E. Binder, Sr. on June 15, 1957. They had four children, they lived in Virginia, North Carolina, Hawaii and California. Irma and Robert became lifelong friends and established a mutual respect and support for each other. Irma later married Thomas Frazier around 1979 and eventually returned to Montana. She participated and had membership in various organizations a few of which are Dakota Presbytery Elder-Deacon Association, Lindsey Ladies Aid, Dakota Choir, Nathan Crazy Bull Post, Women's Warrior Society and various ladies groups in Albuquerque. Irma's most significant accomplishment was her walk with the Lord and she was always happy to share her faith. She loved singing Dakota Hymns. Irma was always filled with laughter and love and will be best remembered by that. She kept in touch with many and often seemed to know just when to call or write someone.
