She loved all her family and friends and had a very special place in her heart for her nieces and nephews. She was a huge animal lover and would sit and whistle at the birds and wait for them to whistle back. She always shared her Coronis grinder with what ever pet she was near. She went out of her way to make sure that her family was always taken care of, especially her brothers during their illness, as well as her mother before they passed. She would sit, visit, talk and show unconditional love with all the residents at Woodlawn Nursing Home while visiting her mother on a daily basis.

She was predeceased by her parents Edward and Geraldine (Demars) Richardson of Newport, her brothers Michael, Gary, and David Richardson of Newport and Jay Richardson of California.
