Karen Ann (Ritt) Wolter

Karen Ann Wolter, age 60, passed away unexpectedly at her home, Monday, February 27, 2012.

On October 8, 1980, she was united in marriage to James “Jim” Wolter. Karen was the matriarch of her family, perfectly fitting into that role after the death of her mother. She was generous, giving, and always listened as well as gave her opinion. Karen went above and beyond caring for those she loved and will be missed immensely by her family and friends.

She is survived by her loving husband of thirty-two years, Jim; her sons, Gary (Kyong) Wolter of KY, Jim Wolter (Melissa Thomas), Joe Wolter, both of Racine; granddaughters, Kimberly Wolter of CA and Key’anna Wolter of Racine; mother-in-law, Alice Wolter of Racine; brothers and sisters, Terry (Lynn) Ritt, Dennis (Debbie) Ritt, Kenny (Jeanne) Ritt, Barb (Bruce) Ziegenhagen, Cheryl (Clair) Breckenridge, Kathy (Matt Landeau) Ritt, all of Racine. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and dear friends. She will be especially missed by her niece, Jillian (Joaquin Lopez) Urick and her children, Julianna, Steven, Joaquin; and her granddaughter, Key’anna. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mary Jane (Nee: Cramer) and Harry L. Ritt; and father-in-law, Edgar Wolter.

For a celebration of Karen’s life, relatives and friends are welcome to meet with the family at the funeral home on Saturday, March 3, 2012, from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.
