Obituary
Marvin George Richter, age 78, died December 14, 2022. Born in Towner, North Dakota on January 21, 1944 to Nick and Lena Richter, Marv was the third of 12 children. After serving in the US Army for three years, he graduated from Minot State University, found his way to Madison, WI and became a math teacher at Madison East High School. While teaching at East, he met and married fellow teacher Sue (Meissen) Richter in 1971. Two kids, Marvin Michael and Anna Marie, completed the family. Marv was proud to be part of the East High School community and taught math at East for 30 years before he retired in 1999.
Marv loved his family and adored being an Opa to his grandsons Henry and Charlie. The feeling was mutual and the three of them had many adventures together.
Marv’s spirit now watches over his wife of 51 years Sue, his daughter Anna, his son-in-law Zach, and his grandsons Henry and Charlie. We are certain the spirit of his son Marvin Michael was the first to greet him when he passed.
Per Marv’s wishes, there will be no services. Instead of sending flowers, please make a donation to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, a Shriners Hospital for Children, or any charity you feel passionately about. Thank you to Marv’s Agrace care team who provided amazing and compassionate care. Hug the people who are important to you and love them with everything you’ve got.
