Richard was born February 19, 1936, to Erhardt and Pauline Frickenschmidt Schoeling on the family farm in Fairmont, Oklahoma, and passed from this life May 18, 2023, in Enid, Oklahoma.

He was raised on the family farm between Fairmont and Garber and attended Garber schools. He joined the United States Navy in 1955 and honorably served his country for four years as an Aviation Structural Mechanic Airman.

He married Mary Bernadine Schoeling April 12, 1958. He began working for Goldspot Dairy for two years until the couple moved to Douglas, where they made their home and raised their family on their farm and ranch. He was a farmer and rancher and worked in the oilfield from 1961-1965 while still maintaining the farm. He drove the school bus for the Covington/Douglas Schools and later Vo-Tech for fourteen years.

He is survived by one son, Richie and his wife Kim Schoeling, of Fairmont, and daughter, Debbie Fischer and her husband Mark, of Douglas; grandchildren, Bryan Fischer, Austin Phillips, and Dakota Schoeling; great-grandchildren, Brannock Fischer; and numerous other family members.

He was preceded in death by his wife of fifty-nine years Mary Bernadine Schoeling; parents; and brothers, Kenneth, Virgil, Edgar, Keith, Larry, and Glen.

Memorials may be made in his honor to the Tri-County Sr. Citizens Center, with Brown-Cummings serving as custodian of the funds.
