Dr. Joe D. Riederer Dies; Former Juneauite was 89
Dr. Joe Dwight Riederer
Dr. Joe Dwight Riederer died quietly June 6, 2021, with family by his side, at the Sitka Pioneers Home. He was 89.
Joe was born Dec. 18, 1931, in Ketchikan, and met his lifetime sweetheart Jean Wickward when they were 15. They were married five years later and celebrated their 70th anniversary this year. They raised eight children in their home full of happiness, discipline and love.
Joe served in the U.S. Army before attending Loma Linda University School of Medicine, in Loma Linda, California, and moved to Juneau in 1961. He practiced medicine there for more than 45 years. He was a commercial fisherman before and after his medical career.
He had resided at the Pioneers Home since January 2016.
His wishes were for a simple family graveside service, which was held in Juneau.
He is survived by his wife, Jean Riederer, of Sitka; sister Joelle Elliston; and children Sheri Wagner, Carolyn Riederer Annerud, Drue Wagner, Craig Wagner, Mark Riederer, Sandy Wagner Young, Dwight Riederer, and Gail Riederer; grandchildren; and great-grandchildren.
He is loved and missed.
The family thanked his many friends and the Sitka Pioneers Home staff for their loving care.
Friends are welcome to share their memories of Joe at Celebrating Joe Riederer’s Life - a Facebook page open to the public.
