Tamara Richardson Obituary
Tamara Richardson
August 3, 1964 - November 22, 2024
CLIFTON - A Napa native, Tami passed away peacefully in Grand Junction, CO, after a thirteen-year courageous battle with cancer. Tami's joy in life was her daughter, Landon Law; she was determined to live every moment creating wonderful memories with her daughter. She loved her life in Colorado, her farm, and camping, especially in Moab. Famous for her cookies, Tami always gave them to anyone who helped her.
Tami's spirit will live on in our hearts-she was truly a beautiful soul and will be missed forever.
Tami is survived by her loving daughter, Landon (Braxten Franz), stepsister Cheyenne (Ronko), Sandy (Mike), brothers Dan Richardson (Lisa), Tom Knudsen (Lisa), Scott Knudsen (Danielle), her longtime loving companion, Bob Law, and her mother, Jan Knudsen. She is also survived by her uncle, Larry Richardson, aunts Nan Freitas, (Kurt), Pat Brandel, Sally Heitz (Rollie), and numerous nieces and cousins who all loved her.
Tami was predeceased by her father Randy Richardson and her stepfather Bill Knudsen.
A Celebration of Life will be on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024, at 2:00 PM, at Canyon View Vineyard Church, 736 24 1/2 Rd., Grand Junction, CO. Donations may be made to: HopeWest, 3090 No. 12th St., Grand Junction, CO 81506, or the charity of your choice.
