Jody Rae Fox Altringer, 59, of Twin Buttes, ND passed away on Thursday, May 4, 2023, in Bismarck, ND at Sanford Hospital. The wake will begin at 5 pm CDT on Monday May 8th, 2023 at the Twin Buttes Wellness Center, Twin Buttes.

Jody was born on January 28, 1964, in Minot, ND to John Fox Jr. and Reva Boepple (Burr). She spent much of her life in Twin Buttes being raised by her daddy, Victor Boepple, and her mother. She attended school and graduated from Halliday High School in 1982. Following high school, she had two sons from her first marriage to Barry Benson. On November 24, 2004, she married the love of her life, Jeff Altringer. Together they blended their two families. The family was completed with the birth of their daughter.

Jody attended college at United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, ND and earned her degree in Early Childhood Development. In her adult life she relocated to Red Wing, MN with Jeff, and their children. She worked various jobs while in Minnesota before returning home to Twin Buttes, ND to be closer to her daddy.

Jody loved gardening, even to the point where she won, “Yard of the Month – June 2022,” in Twin Buttes. She also enjoyed spending time at her dad’s house working outside. Jody could never pass up a rummage sale sign, no matter how many miles it took you to get there. You could always find her at home drinking lemon water and watching her favorite shows on TV. In the recent years she could spend hours doing diamond art. However, her greatest joy in life was spending time with her grandchildren.
