Doris Richmond Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Zale Funeral Home - Stratford on Jan. 21, 2026.
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Doris Richmond, who departed this life on January 11, 2026, in Voorhees, NJ. Born on January 17, 1931, she lived a life marked by kindness, integrity, and a deep love for family, friends, and her church.

Doris was born and raised in Philadelphia PA, where she was valedictorian of her high school graduating class. Her parents were Francis Dillon and Alice (Nurney) Dillon, proud immigrants to the USA. She was the widow of Wilbert E. Richmond Jr, her beloved Willie.

Throughout her 25-year career, Doris worked diligently as a Manager of Human Resources for General Accident Insurance, making a lasting impact on colleagues and the community.

Doris is survived by her children Stephen Richmond Sr, Eileen Montgomery (Rick) and Carol Kaiser (Ken); her grandchildren Stephen Richmond Jr, Mary Richmond-Michael; Shannon Boss, Kelly McCourt; and Kevin and Kyle Kaiser; and her great grandchildren Ian and Isabella (in heaven); April and Stephen III, Abigail, and Zoe. Family gatherings were always made special by Doris's warmth and laughter.

Doris Richmond was a 60-year member of the First Presbyterian Church of Somerdale, NJ where she is remembered for service to the congregation as an Elder and leader of Bible studies for many years.

A memorial service will be held on January 24, 2026 at 12 Noon at First Presbyterian Church of Somerdale, NJ, where loved ones will gather to honor and celebrate Doris's life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Deacon's Fund of First Presbyterian Church, reflecting her lifelong commitment to helping others.
