Anna Dandar Richter

Richter, Anna M Dandar, age 94, of Tampa, passed away June 13, 2019. Anna “Ann” was the last surviving sibling of 8 children born in Toledo, OH. She moved to Tampa in 1956, where she met and married Lawrence W Richter Jr. in 1960. He preceded her in death in 2005. Anna believed being a catholic meant sharing her time and talents with others.

Her involvement included holding a variety of offices, including President of ALA for multiple years and State President of the Eight & Forty. In her later years Anna assisted ALA, using her sewing and craft skills to make items for soldiers and veterans. She made over 1400 baby hats for St. Joseph’s Hospital and blankets for the VA and children’s organizations. Anna is survived by

her daughter, Anna Smith and her husband Raymond Dale; granddaughters, Caitlin and Christine Smith, and many nieces, nephews and supportive friends.
