Hello @Jenealogy,
You did quite well with your transcription of this record.
Vehlage no. 41.
Record no. 2
Der Leibzüchter Johann Henrich Röttchers Ehefrau Catrine Margrete gestorben den 7ten, begraben den 9ten, alt 82 Jahren.
Alter = old age [the cause of death].
My comment: Do you see the line over the "n" in the name "Johan"? -- this is a scribal convention which means to double the "n", making the name "Johann". This scribal convention almost exclusively occurs above the letters "n" and "m".

Thank you so much! Yes, I did miss the line over the "n" -- I see, now that it's there! Thank you for reviewing this!
