Thelma Richter Obituary
On December 12, 2018 Thelma went to join our Lord.
She was born on November 17, 1914 to John & Olive Victor in Chicago. She was preceded in death by the love of her life Walt Richter. Also passed were her Mom, Dad, Brother Oscar and Grandsons Ronny & Kip. She is survived by her daughter Carol and son Randy (Vicki), 5 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and 12 great great grandchildren.
She met the love of her life, Walt Richter at the age of 14 and married him at 18. This woman was way before her time, filling all of the bucket lists from the beginning. From stilling alcohol during prohibition, to horse back riding at the age of 89, and taking a fling on a wave runner at 91. This woman had the most adventuresome spirit.
Oh how she will be missed!
