Jacqui Richmeier, 63, passed away January 24, 202, in the comfort of her home in Bogue, Kansas surrounded by her family. Jacqui was born July 16, 1961 in Phillipsburg, Kansas to Helen Wilson. She attended school in Logan and received her G.E.D. before completing coursework in human growth and development, accounting and computer science from Colby Community College Outreach and subsequently attaining her licensure for childcare.
February 23, 1980, Jacqui married Monty Richmeier in Hill City. July 24, 2007 the couple joyfully welcomed their beautiful daughter, Michelle.
In addition to proudly working with Graham County families as a daycare provider, Jacqui held several retail positions in the community, she was a Graham County Fair Board member, and served as a paraprofessional at DSNWK and postal clerk at the USPS in Hill City.
Jacqui was passionate about photography, fishing, baking, crafts, cooking, sewing, gardening, plants, the ocean, the mountains and all animals large and small. She loved camping, being in nature and occasionally enjoying a frosty bottle or two of Coors Light. Most of all, she loved people. And, of course, her absolute favorites were her beloveds: Monty and Michelle. Anyone who knew Jacqui well understood that her greatest wish in life was to become a mother–-and she never stopped being grateful for the daughter God brought into their lives. She was a spiritual, free-spirited soul who showed her love of living through making people laugh, nurturing any child as her own, planning celebrations for others and helping people in need. She will be deeply missed by all those she held close.
She was preceded in death by her mother Helen Wilson; grandparents, Roy and Edna Wilson; uncle and aunt Howard and Thelma Morgan, aunt Wilma Harmon; brother John Ginther; cousin R.D. Harmon; and many members of her animal family.
She is survived by her husband, Monty Richmeier; daughter, Michelle Richmeier; sister Sherida Warner and brother-in-law of Grand Junction, Colorado, “son” Michael Richmeier of Las Vegas, Nevada; “daughter” Bridget Deenihan of Nashville, Tennessee (both of whom Jacqui and Monty helped raise), and many beloved nieces and nephews.
The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the community for their generous support during Jacqui’s journey. They also would like to thank the medical community of Hill City, Hays, and Kearney, Nebraska, including the doctors, nurses, ambulatory and emergency staff, and the angels who dedicate their lives to Hospice Care.
Her celebration of life will be held Sunday, February 23, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. at the Bogue United Methodist Church. A visitation from 2 to 3 will begin at the church before the service. Jacqui would have liked for people to attend with light hearts and wearing their favorite pair of blue jeans–or whatever feels most comfortable. Memorials to the family for medical and funeral expenses. Stinemetz Funeral Home, Hill City is in charge of the arrangements.
