Marilyn Richards Obituary
June 6, 1937 - October 26, 2024
Marilyn Richards, passed away peacefully on October 26, 2024, surrounded by her family. Marilyn was born in Glens Falls, NY, and moved to Flagstaff in 1953, where she met and fell in love with her beloved husband, Sheriff Joe Richards, where they have shared more than 70 years of life together. She is survived by her husband, Joe and their four daughters, Roxie, Julie, Dorie and Elicia. She was a wonderful grandmother to nine grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild. A woman of faith, Marilyn was known for her love for God and others, as she faithfully served in many capacities throughout her life. Her love of her husband, family and God will be a guide and inspiration to those she leaves behind.
