Linda Richardson Obituary
Born June 16, 1954, in Punxsutawney, she was the daughter of Merle and Jane (Copenhaver) Bish.
The fourth of five children, she grew up in Dayton and attended Bellwood-Antis High School in Bellwood.
Mrs. Richardson was a homemaker and raised five children in central Pennsylvania. A humble, prayerful, and kind woman, Linda's priority in life was always her family whom she loved deeply and gave everything she had to provide for. Even when faced with challenges, she maintained a wonderful sense of humor and was kind to everyone she knew. She loved nature and the outdoors and reveled all the seasons of life, but especially spring and summer.
She was preceded in death by her father, mother and a brother, Thomas Lee Bish.
Linda will be sadly missed by all who knew her. May God bless and keep her.
Survivors include her husband of 36 years, Jonathan W. Richardson; two daughters, Lisa M. (Bauer) Danuser of Williamsburg, Va. and Krissy M. (Shatzer) Angelo of Hummelstown; three sons, Wesley A. Shatzer of Carlisle, and Harrison Richardson and Michael Richardson of Ickesburg; a sister, Catherine L. (Bish) Shellenberger; brothers, Dr. David A. Bish of Louisiana and Terry R. Bish of Arlington, Va.; 11 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
