For years, she devoted hours each week to preparing creative lessons and activities for the kids in her classes. She also loved reading, cooking, quilting, and spending time with her grandchildren.

She is survived by sons, David Richardson and wife, Angela of Temple, and Daryl Richardson and wife, Tina of Bandera; grandchildren, Brayden and wife Allison, Bryce, Braxton, Brynlee, and Skyler; and sister, Sharon Fisher of Mansfield.
