Publish in a newspaper

Mary Lou Richards, age 69, of Cranberry Twp., passed away unexpectedly on Friday, October 17, 2025.
Born May 11, 1956, in Butler, she was the daughter of the late Philip L. Farinelli and Helen Arlene Stewart Farinelli.
When she wasn't building puzzles, decorating for the holidays or planting her flowers, Mary Lou spent a lot of time with her grandchildren who could always count on her to have chocolate in her purse. She is finally united with her love of her life, her husband Tom, enjoying their eternal dance.
Mary Lou leaves behind to cherish her memory, her three children, Martha (Robert) Feil, Thomas H. (Sarah) Richards, and Jeffry (Stephany) Richards; her six grandchildren, Keith and Klayre Brown, Ethan and Dylan Richards, and Penelope and Oliver Richards; her four sisters, Ruth Baker, Helen Farinelli, Phylis (Dan) Gifford, and Margie (Jim) Miller; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Mary Lou was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Thomas E. Richards.
Friends will be received for visitation on Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 2-4 P.M. and 6-8 P.M. at Boylan Funeral Home & Cremation Center, Inc., 856 Evans City Road, Renfrew, PA 16053.
