She was born May 29, 1927 in Pembine, Wis., to Herman and Mabel (Thurston) Kowitz.
In 1936 her family moved west to Waldport. Her father said if they could make it to the ocean they would never go hungry.
Mrs. Klapprich moved to Prine-ville in 1971 and then to Sweet Home in 2003 to be closer to her daughter, Cyndie Kalina.
She was involved with her churches both in Prineville and in Sweet Home.
She enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, tole painting, crochet-ing, working in the garden and reading.
Mrs. Klapprich is survived by her daughters, Karen Robertson of Mesquite, Nev., Cyndie Kalina of Sweet Home, and Billie Bustillos of Sandy Valley, Nev.; 11 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Everett Klapprich, in 1991; daughter Michelle Griffin in 2010; four brothers; and two sisters.
The family will hold a private memorial later in the year.
Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
