Her father preceded her in death. Her mother still resides in Akron. She completed all her schooling there and attended Akron University for two years. After college she worked as a secretary in the B F Goodrich plant in Akron.

She met and later married Joseph L Richardson, a career Army officer, on September 28, 1968.She began her married life with devotion to family and full support of her husband’s career. She embraced each new reassignment with a positive attitude and quickly learned how to get reestablished at each new post. The family enjoyed stateside assignments at Forts Story, Stewart, Leavenworth, McClellan and Eustis. The most enjoyable overseas posting was to Sydney, Australia.

They had one child, daughter Deborah, who married Mr. Lee Fahringer. They have two wonderful grandchildren, Jonathan and Caroline. Lois enjoyed the times she shared with all of them.

After retirement Joe and Lois settled down in Williamsburg and called it home for almost

30 years. Lois worked for a time at the Kingsmill Realty Sales Office as a part time secretary. She was a member of the Kingsmill Women’s Social Club and was active in the Bible Study group.

    You are in our prayers. I pray for your comfort and peace during this difficult loss. I only had a couple of times to enjoy Mrs. Richardson's company but always found her so sweet and kind. Her warmth and love live on in her beautiful daughter and grandchildren. Debbie is such a good friend. I'm sure she learned a lot about that from such a wonderful mother.
