ROTHSCHILD RICHTER
Nettie Spungen Richter, daughter of Harry
Spungen and Dorothy Snyder Spungen, and
sister of Sidney Spungen, passed from our
lives on October 15, 2018 at age 87 after a
long life marked by many accomplishments.

Born in Philadelphia on April 25, 1931, she
attended Olney HS, Temple University (B.A.)
and Villanova University (M.A.). Nettie was a
first and second grade teacher, working 25
years at Myers Elementary in Cheltenham
Township, PA. She still has students who re-
member her nurturing. Nettie described her
marriage to Rick Richter as long, interesting
and never dull! She helped Rick with several
businesses. Rick was a private pilot, and to-
gether, they were active in Aircraft Owners &
Pilots Association (AOPA) and traveled all
along the east coast and coastal Canada. In
1986, she and her husband moved west from
the Philly area to Albuquerque, NM, where
they lived for 31 years, making many friends.

Nettie became a Master Gardener and en-
joyed this network immensely. She also
joined Prudential as a Financial Planner. She
and Rick traveled throughout the west and
flew their plane to Oshkosh AirVenture. To-
gether with their daughter and son-in-law,
they helped build a Light Sport Aircraft and
volunteered with aviation activities connec-
ted to the Experimental Aircraft Association
(EAA) Chapter 179. Just last year, Nettie and
Rick relocated to Pompano Beach, Florida.

Nettie was involved in organizations that
helped people better their lives. The most im-
portant to her was the American Diabetes As-
sociation (ADA) where she pioneered the par-
ticipation of laypeople in the Greater Phila af-
filiate when her oldest daughter developed ju-
venile diabetes. She helped at a camp for dia-
betic children (Camp Firefly in Spring Mount,
PA), raised money with Rick for diabetes pro-
grams, organized the first National Youth
Committee & Youth Congress, originated and
authored Kids Korner (always an advocate for
children and families!) for Diabetes Forecast
magazine, served as an acclaimed National
Secretary, and received many awards, includ-
ing a Lifetime Achievement Award, for her
dedicated volunteer work. Nettie is survived
by her beloved husband Rick, daughters
Kathy Richter-Sand (Robert Richter-Sand)
and Eileen Richter (Paul Livant), grandchil-
dren Erica Bentley, Matt Sand (Lily Sand),
Hannah Livant and great-grandchildren Layla
Sand, Eli Watson, and Parsa Sand. She is
also survived by her brother Sidney Spungen
(Betty Spungen), many beloved nieces, neph-
ews and cousins, and treasured friends. A
celebration honoring Nettie’s remarkable life
will be arranged at a future date. Nettie would
be honored by donations to The American
Diabetes Association New Mexico Camp 180
