Bio
Joan Richter Kennedy, loving wife, devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away on September 17, 2024, at home at the age of 91. She was born to Aleen and Otto Richter on January 29, 1933 and was a descendant of San Antonio's founding Canary Island families. Joan married on January 26, 1952, and this would begin a lifetime marriage that lasted nearly 73 years. Joan was dedicated to her family to whom she provided unending love, care and support. She will be remembered for her grace, wit and warmth, not just by her many friends but all who she encountered. Joan loved the many hunting trips to South Texas and especially fishing trips to Colorado and Alaska. She was always eager to entertain family and friends at home. The Texas Hill Country was near and dear to her heart where she and her husband spent many happy days together. Joan was supportive in her husband's numerous business, civic and professional activities and she thoroughly enjoyed traveling to the Preferred Hotels Worldwide meetings and conferences. Joan was a devout Roman Catholic. She was a longtime member of The Charity Ball Association, The Battle of Flowers Association, Green Hand Garden Club and St. Monica's Guild. Joan cherished the many friends that she and Pat and family shared. The family extends our sincere thanks to all those friends and family who brought joy to her wonderful life. The family wishes to thank all who provided personal and medical assistance to her as well as spiritual strength especially during the past few years. She was preceded in death by her parents, son-in-law Kab Ballantyne, sisters Rosalie Richter Bolner, Barbara Richter Hajek, Christina Richter Engels and brother Otto Richter Jr. A Mass will be celebrated for Joan on Friday, September 27, 2024 at St. Peter Prince of the Apostles Catholic Church, 111 Barilla Pl, San Antonio, Texas 78209 at 11:00 a.m. Posted at: Porter Loring Mortuary September 2024
