Roxanne Richardson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 19, 2013.
WEST HALIFAX, Vt. - Roxanne (Shaw) Richardson, 61, of West Halifax, died Thursday, March 14, 2013, at Buckley HealthCare Center in Greenfield, Mass.
She was born (at home) in Griswoldville, Mass., village of Colrain, Mass., on Dec. 19, 1951, to Robert M. Sr. and Norma J. (Garland) Shaw. She attended Colrain Central School and Mohawk Trail Regional High School in Buckland, Mass. She received her GED in 1990.
On Nov. 28, 1970, she was married to Roy G. Richardson. After their marriage, they built a home in West Halifax, Vt., and lived there most of all their married life.
She worked at the former Kendall Mills in Colrain during the 1970s and early 1980s. She had been working at Federal St. McDonald's in Greenfield for 24 years until her illness in October 2012.
Rox loved the outdoors and camping out with the couple's motor home. She loved arts and crafts and enjoyed her art and crafts room. She really enjoyed her flower beds and would spent her time planting and decorating her beds with pretty array of colors and blooms.
She leaves her husband Roy of 42 years; a son, Kurt, and a daughter, Kelly, both at home; two brothers, Robert M. Shaw Jr. of Stanwood, Wash., and Kevin R. Shaw Sr. of Conway, Mass.; a sister, Shirley Clark of Deerfield, Mass.; many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews; grandnieces and grandnephews, and many friends she made over the years.
Roxanne loved people. People loved her quick wit and humor; always a happy-go-lucky person that lights up the room. She was always looking at the humorous side of life. She could make anybody laugh.
There will be a "Celebration of Life" observed on Saturday, March 23, at the Colrain Community Church, Rte. 112, at 11 a.m. with Pastor Bob Szafran offering prayer and anyone who wants to share memories of Roxanne. A potluck lunch will follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations are suggested to Hospice of Franklin County, 329 Conway St., Suite 2, Greenfield, MA 01301.
