Kathleen Richter Obituary

Kathleen S. Richter CHARLESTON - Kathleen S. Richter, July 26, 1945 - February 6, 2016, after a courageous battle with a heart condition, passed away in Charleston, SC with her family by her side. She is survived by her two sons, Timothy Risher, Sr. and his wife Wendy of Summerville, SC, Sean Risher and his wife Traci of Charleston, SC, and her daughter Michele Clark and her husband Gene of Beaufort, SC. She had five grandchildren, Timothy Jr., Tiffany, Alexandria, Eva and Nathan, and one great-grandchild, Mason. Kathy was the most caring person who always put everyone's needs and happiness first. We will all remember her smile and her laugh. She was always so sweet, funny, and giving. She affected everyone she met in a positive way that they will always remember. She loved to fish, kayak, cook, read, play games, watch TV and movies, and most of all spend time with family and friends. She was retired from the office of the Charleston County Clerk of Court and enjoyed her home by the Ashepoo River and then her tiny home in the woods in Gaffney, SC, custom-built by her family. She was proud to be part of the tiny house movement and loved to talk about and show off her lovely home. She took care of her dog, Jabbo, and her chickens. She loved that she could be independent and relax in her own paradise. The family will have a private memorial at a later date. In lieu of flowers, if you wish to make a donation, please send to the American Heart Association. We appreciate everyone's condolences and kind words. We all have wonderful memories of Kathy/Momma/Nana that will live on forever. Visit our guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/ charleston

I am so sorry for your loss. I first met your Mom when she was "very" young on Folly Beach. I was with your Dad & he stopped to talk to her and the rest was history. I saw her many times after. She worked for the town of James Island & county clerk & and I saw her many times then. A great and loving person and a very beautiful woman.I remember y'all living on Main Rd.and I visited many times when you kids were very young. Now we all come to the final days of living on God's earth and he will take us all home to be with him for eternity.God is Great.
