Biographical Information

Biography

Rehle was born on December 10, 1932, in Twin Falls, Idaho. She met her future husband, Chuck Higham, at Idaho Falls High School where they both played in the band. This passion for music and the arts continued throughout her life. She taught dance lessons in Shelley for 50 years. In addition to tap, ballet, and jazz, she taught many ballroom dance and etiquette classes to junior high students. During this time, she also developed her talents as an artist. Her first paintings were oil and acrylic, and she later transitioned to watercolors. Rehle was a member of the Bonneville Art Association, Eagle Rock Art Guild, and the Idaho Water Color Society. She continued to take dance after she stopped teaching and enjoyed art lessons until her health declined. She painted landscapes from Swan Valley, the Tetons, and the various locations she visited; her still life paintings were carefully designed. Rehle loved her family, travel, turquoise jewelry, music, art, beautiful dishes, and old movies.
