Jacqueline Richardson Obituary
Jacqueline (Jacque) Richardson died of natural causes on Wednesday, May 18th, 2016 in Salt Lake City, Utah at the age of 75.
She was born on May 29th, 1940, in Pocatello, Idaho, to Thomas Stanley (Stan) Richardson and Ora Peterson, the oldest of four children.
She spent most of her youth in Blackfoot, where she was raised by her beloved step-mother, Doris Story Richardson. She enjoyed spending time with her grandparents and helping out at the family restaurant. Jacqueline served an LDS mission in Florida and graduated from Utah State University in 1961.
Jacqueline married Jay Lewis Mason in Idaho Falls in August 1962. They were later divorced. They were blessed with five children - Clint, Charlie, Michelle, Calvin and Greg.
Jacque had a great passion for education and taught school for many years in both Idaho and Utah. She loved horses, camping, fishing, reading, and spending time with her children and grandchildren. Jacque loved her family, was very interested in genealogy and enjoyed sharing stories about her predecessors.
She was preceded in death by her parents, brother, Bruce Ness, and granddaughter, Taylor Elizabeth Mason.
She is survived by her children; Clinton Jay Mason (Michelle), Charles Stanley Mason (Amy), Michelle Doris Grimaud (Chris), Calvin William Mason (Megan), and Gregory Keith Mason; brothers, Thomas Richardson and Gregory Mern Richardson, and also many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will miss her generous heart and her lively, entertaining presence.

To the family of Jacqueline Mason:
My deepest condolences to all for your great loss. I became acquainted with her while she was working as a very capable guidance counselor at Uintah High School in Vernal, UT.
I was also living in that area as a single mother-my three boys were away and also my only daughter on an L.D.S mission. I asked Jacque to move in with me temporarily to keep me company- until one of them could come home again. She did this even though it was a great sacrifice for her - out of the goodness of her heart and due to her sweet spirit. I will always be indebted to her for her selfless service to me!
I want to express my deep gratitude and love for her and that I all forever keep her in my heart. Among her great qualities I will remember her for her bright intelligence and creativity; her great courage and determination to move forward in the mist of her trials; and her great love and devotion for her children and grandchildren. I regret deeply I was unable to be at her funeral service. I have tried for the last few years to get in touch with her to no avail. I hope and would appreciate very much if any of her children would contact me to let me know a bit of her life after we lost contact. With fond memories and love for my great friend, Jacque, Nora R. Brown ( formerly Gordon)

Jacque was my guidance counselor at Uintah High. She was also mom to my dear friend, Michelle. I still remember some of her wise quotes to this day.
To her children- I'm on Facebook.
