After Paul's passing, Ricky returned to her birthplace and siblings to live with her sister, Frau Hiltrud Lutz.

The Gutreich Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Riki's passing. My family goes back many years with her and Paul. Riki trained my Mom at A&P many years ago. They became fast friends as did our families. I had the pleasure of visiting with Riki just before she left for Germany. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
