Richard Severe Obituary
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, at Hogan-Bremer-Moore Colonial Chapel, 126 Third St. N.E., Mason City, with Pastor Ed Bard officiating. The family is requesting casual attire to the service.
Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
Memorials may be directed to the family in memory of Tony.
Tony was born March 22, 1958, in Oceanside, Calif., the son of Richard Leroy and Marlys (Arndt) Severe. He married Laurie (Hinrichsen) on Aug. 11, 1980, in Mason City and to this union two children were born.
Tony was an employee of Curries for 29 years, which he loved. In his spare time he enjoyed spending time with his wife, daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. He was also an avid hunter that loved the outdoors. Tony was involved with trumpeter swan restoration, which he also enjoyed. Tony was also a serious Vikings football fan!
He is survived by his wife, Laurie, Nora Springs; his daughter, Chelsy (Mark) Schultz, Mason City; his grandchildren, Ayla and Eli Schultz, Mason City; his parents, Richard Severe, Eagen, Minn., and Marlys Kramm, Nora Springs; his siblings, Terry Severe, Nora Springs, Tammy Severe, Bloomington, Minn., Kim (Brian) McDonough, Nora Springs, Kelly (John) Krause, Nora Springs, and Khris (Julie) Kramm, Nora Springs; his honorary brother, Dale (Cindy) Lipp, and their children, Jake, Sam and Hunter, Nora Springs; his mother-in-law, Betty Hinrichsen, Nora Springs; many nieces and nephews; aunts and uncles; and endless friends and family - "you know who you are."
Tony was preceded in death by his grandparents, Leroy (Helen) Severe and Ted (Margaret) Arndt; his father-in-law, Earl Hinrichsen; his infant daughter, Jennifer, and special friend, Paul Lipp.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Ted (Bev) Arndt for helping them through this difficult time.
