RICHARDSON, EVANGELINE "EVY" February 27, 1925 - May 19, 2011 Evy was born in Coon Valley, WI to Palmer and Ragna Olson, the second child of four: Raymond and Lawrence who precede her in death and is survived by her sister LaVonne Engh of Coon Valley, WI. She is also survived by her husband of 67 years, James Richardson, her son James Richardson (wife Sharon), her daughter Joyce Richardson; her grandchildren Jennifer, Sarah, Marty, Michael and Amanda; and her great-grandchildren, Trenton, Isaiah, Aliyah, Nolan, and Ricky. Evy is also survived by family and friends in LaCrosse, Coon Valley, Westby, and Chaseburg, WI and Caladonia, MN, as well as her beloved San Diego neighbors, yoga friends, her painting instructor and many life long friends. Evy touched so many lives and was adored by all. She was a beautiful woman who lived a full and active life. She excelled in golf, was an avid artist, enjoyed cooking, shopping and kept up with pop culture and trends. She passed away after a fierce 6-month battle with cancer and will be sorely missed.

I was extremely saddened to read that Evy, a truly wonderful and amazing human being, lost her battle with cancer. My sincerest condolences to the family, especially to Jim, her soulmate and best friend for 67 years. Evy joined the Adult Fitness Program at SDSU several years ago being among the first women to break into the "all male participant" program. Needless to say, Evy was the spark that ignited a new wave of interest and motivation under the feet of those guys and special friendships, that spanned for decades, were forever forged. You will certainly be missed, Evy but your spunk, positive outlook on life and that wonderful warm smile you had for everyone will be cherished.
Blessings,
Patti Tuffley
