Barbara Anne Richter

She was born May 24, 1938 in Boston, MA. She was a graduate of Brookline High School. She worked as a secretary at Ella F. Hoxie Elementary School, Sagamore, MA and moved to Homosassa from Bourne, MA in 2006.

Her hobbies included gardening, ceramics and knitting. She was an avid reader, loved her family, was a great friend, and the "Glue that held the family together". She enjoyed doing for others and was not one to have attention on herself. Mrs. Richter was a member of and, later an adviser to, the International Order of Rainbow for Girls, Bourne United Methodist Church Youth Fellowship and was an advocate for non-smoking with kids.

Mrs. Richter was preceded in death by her father, John Ferron.

Survivors include her husband, Peter G. Richter and 2 daughters, Andrea Richter and Cheryl Richter, all of Homosassa.

A Celebration of Life for Mrs. Richter will be held June 23, 2014 from 4 to 7 PM at the Nickerson-Bourne Funeral Home, 40 MacArthur Blvd. Bourne, MA.
