Debra Ann Richert (Larsen)

February 20, 1964 — June 4, 2025

Cottage Grove

On June 4th, 2025, the world lost a truly remarkable woman. Debra Ann Richert (Larsen) passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of strength, wit, beauty and deep unwavering love.

Deb was born February 20th, 1964, in Omaha, Nebraska. She had a heart that loved deeply and fully; she had the ability to light up a room and make even a stranger feel seen, heard and loved. She found joy in the simplest things in life; a love for daisies, a good book, sunflower seeds, her favorite Fleetwood Mac songs and of course, her morning Pepsi; and in doing so, reminded us how beautiful the simplest of moments could be. She was strong in ways that inspired others; resilient through life’s trials, never backing down when it mattered most. Her humor was quick, sometimes fiery but always honest. And her beauty, uniquely her own, radiated through the way she loved, cared and showed up for the people in her life.

To list those who loved and were loved by Deb would take a decade; She was loved most (but would argue she loved us most) by her husband Scott Richert, daughter Lindsey Henin (Daniels) and fur babies Baxter and Zeke.

She was welcomed in the sky by her mom, Lois Ritter, sister, Linda Wilson, brother, Craig Larsen, Father in Law, Howard Richert and many other loved ones and friends who we have lost along the way.

She was one of a kind and will be missed beyond words.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date, with details to be shared once finalized. Until then, we carry her spirt with us, in our strength, our laughter, and in the love we give each other.
