Rita Golter Obituary
It always feels too soon, even when we know the time is near. But she was ready to join Hermann and watch over us with love from a beautiful and peaceful place. Per her wishes, we'll be honoring her with a simple, private burial.
For those who wish to acknowledge her life and your friendships, please consider a small donation to the Hermann & Rita Golter Scholarship Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley https://www.cffrv.org/profile/golter-scholarship/
You can also view a beautiful video showcasing the life that Rita and Hermann built in America.

We are very saddened to learn about your mom's passing. Years ago, we had many interesting conversations after church with her and your dad, but after he died, we didn't see her as often until Our Savior began having Taize services where she read the scriptures in German, and I, Art, read them in Spanish. Once again, we had many great chats with her after those services. She told us the story about meeting your dad and remember how touching it was. She certainly lived life to its fullest, and we feel very fortunate and blessed to have known her. With deepest sympathy, Art and Jan Fisher

I also enjoyed seeing and visiting with Rita in the neighborhood and at the Association Meetings. May you all find comfort in knowing she touched many others lives.

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I worked with Rita at Hope Wall . She was such an upbeat co worker.
