Phyllis Lynn Richardson

Phyllis Lynn Richardson, who was a devoted wife, mom, sister and nana, departed this life to be with the Lord on Friday evening, Dec. 3, 2021.

She was born in Louisville on March 25, 1955, to Albert Rollin and the late Mayme Pearl Beauchamp.  She married her husband July 11, 1975, at the Church of Christ at West Main Street in Leitchfield, where she also met him. 

She retired July 1, 2020, from Lakewood Elementary School, where she was the office manager.  Her greatest career goal was to have a perfect audit, which she did year after year. She loved singing at worship services and walking with her family and friends. 

Her most enjoyable moments were spent with her 12 grandchildren. She wanted everyone to know about them and displayed it on her license plate.  She always was to provide a meal for friends and family and was greatly admired by faculty and staff of her school and the school district.

Phyllis is survived by her loving husband of 46 years, Jeffrey Ray Richardson; three children, Stephanie (Tommy) Brothers, Chris (Pam) Richardson and Rachel (Josh) Wilson; 12 grandchildren, Caleb Young, Camden and Asher Brothers, Levi, Isaac, Cainan, Samuel and Silas Richardson and Abby, Micah, Jude and Phoebe Wilson, all of Eastview; her father, Albert (Lena) Beauchamp of Leitchfield; a brother, Dennis (Marilyn) Beauchamp of Leitchfield; and three sisters, Robin (Mark) Parkhurst of McMinnville, Tennessee, Jennifer (Monty) Dukes of Allison, Texas, and Jill Peters of Harned.

The funeral is at noon Wednesday, Dec. 8, at Brown Funeral Home in Elizabethtown with Brother Mark Parkhurst officiating. Burial follows in Richardson Cemetery in Summit.

Visitation is from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and continues from 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday at the funeral home.
