Richard Woehler Obituary
Richard served honorably in the U.S. Air Force from 1960 to 1964 and the Air Force Reserves from 1964 to 1966. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from State University of New York Buffalo in 1969 and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of New York Buffalo in 1975.
Richard had a zest for life beyond his 50-year career as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist. He enjoyed cooking, gardening, and collecting vinyl records. He was known for his warmth, kindness, and dry sense of humor, always bringing smiles and laughter to those around him.
Richard is survived by his devoted wife of 38 years, Debbie Woehler of Santa Clarita, CA; his daughters Kim May, Karyn Cramer (Richard), and Rebecca Barbour of Mountain Home, AR; his stepdaughter Michelle Garcia (Gabriel) of Brentwood, TN; his sisters Diane Thompson and Darla Weiss (Roy) of Evansville, IN; fourteen grandchildren; sixteen great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
An interment will be held at Eternal Valley Memorial Park in Newhall, CA on August 7, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., followed by a Celebration of Life memorial in Mountain Home, AR on September 2, 2023. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Cancer Society are appreciated. Richard's memory will be cherished, and his impact on others will be forever remembered.

In loving memory of an extremely wonderful man. Richard was a man of few words but he always made me laugh. He put up with a lot of shenanigans from Michelle & I during our teenage years but was always so kind! I´ll miss you, "Richbird"! Rest easy.
