Rita Kuhlman Obituary
Rita Louise Kuhlman of Hooper was born Sept. 1, 1929, on a farm near Dead Timber State Park to Nick and Clara Schreck, the eighth of nine brothers and sisters. She grew up during the Great Depression in deep poverty, but learned what it meant to be truly rich and carried her love of family throughout her life. She married Dwight G. Kuhlman on Aug. 6, 1947, and raised two sons. Rita passed from this life on Wednesday, March 25, 2009, at 79 years of age.
She is survived by: a brother, Herb Schreck of West Point; her two sons, Ronald (and wife, Lindy) Kuhlman of Hooper and Mark (and wife, Ruth) of Bremerton, Wash.; six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, as well as a large network of extended family.
She was preceded in death by seven of her brothers and sisters, and her husband of 39 years.
Rita was a dedicated member of the English congregation of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Fremont and was a faithful witness for most of her life. Beloved by many in the communities of Hooper, Scribner, and Fremont, she will be fondly remembered and sorely missed.
The memorial service will be 11 a.m. Saturday at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Fremont, 2530 Old Highway 8. Burial will be at a later date in Manhattan Cemetery near Dead Timber.
