Jodi Kirchner Obituary
Jodi will be remembered for her strength and courage in the face of illness, her kindness, spunkiness and devotion to her family. Her warmth and compassion touched the lives of all who knew her. She was a free spirit and wasn't afraid to do things her way. Jodi loved going to Mexico in the deepest of January every winter to enjoy the warm sun, going to the cabin with family and friends, and simply being home with John. Her memories will be cherished forever.
Jodi is survived by her loving husband of 34 years John, and was a proud stepmother to Jason (Alyson) Hughes and proud grandmother to Mason and Molly. Jodi is also survived and will be missed by her mother Jaye Richter, and her brother Brent (Pam) Richter. She was preceded in death by her father Richard Richter.
A celebration of Jodi's life will be held November 1st from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at JR's Outpost in Ramsey.
