Robert Joseph Thieme, age 75, of Ozark, Alabama, peacefully went to be with our Lord on Monday, February 19, 2024, surrounded by his loving wife and cherished family in the comfort of his home. Born on February 28, 1948, in Nashville, Kansas, to Joseph Alfred Thieme and Ida Ann Hrencher Thieme, Robert’s life journey was marked by dedication, love, and a commitment to family.

 

In 1968, he was joined in the sacrament of marriage with Carolyn Marie Dick of Sharon, Kansas. Together, they raised their family in St. Leo, Kansas, on the Thieme family homestead, where they carried on the rich tradition of wheat and cattle farming. Their shared adventure led them to Florida in 1998. In 2014, Robert retired with Carolyn to a farm in Ozark, Alabama, where he continued cultivating his passion for gardening and fishing by sharing it with his grandchildren. During moments of relaxation, he found enjoyment in watching classic Western movies.

 

Robert was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Kenneth, his grandson Conner, and great-grandson Michael. He leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion cherished by his wife of 55 years, Carolyn Dick Thieme, and their children: Cynthia Beat (Eric) of Ozark, Alabama; Julie Smith (James) of Daphne, Alabama; Rebecca Kilgore (David) of Chanute, Kansas; Renee Duncan (Justin) of Lake Placid, Florida; and Scott Thieme (Candice) of Guyton, Georgia. His 23 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren were a great of pride and joy.

 

Those who knew Robert remember him as a faith-filledman, dedicated brother, father, grandfather, and friend. Robert’s memory will be honored in St. Leo, Kansas, on May 25, 2024, with a rosary at 10:15 AM and a funeral mass at 10:30 AM at St. Leo Catholic Church, followed by his burial in Zenda, Kansas. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Robert’s honor to the American Kidney Foundation, a cause close to his heart.
