Mary Ann Richter, age 92, was quietly reunited with her loving husband, Richter Joseph Richter on February 21, 2024. An incredibly beautiful lady with unconditional love and generosity to her family, Mom had a great fondness for creative freedom, nature, sunshine, mysteries and Jimmy Buffet music.

She is preceded in death by her adoring husband Richard, her parents Walter and Ann Krysco and her granddaughters Geri Ann & Josephine.

Mary Ann was a unique individual with her own style who was not afraid to be herself. She had an artistic spirit and created many beautiful works of art, painting, ceramics, macramé, loom and basket weaving, dried flower arrangements. She enjoyed reading and quickly finished a good book. She baked the best apple and pumpkin pies and cookies. She was the heart of our family who passed on her joy of living naturally to those she loved.
