Lillian C. Richardson

Lillian C. Richardson died October 8, 2004 in Moses Lake, Wash. She was born July 3, 1913 in Billings, Mont., the 11th of 13 children to Frederick and Amelia Unger. At an early age, she moved with her family to Missoula, where she attended school.

In 1935, she married Burton Richardson of Orchard Homes. In 1945, the couple and their two daughters moved to Seattle, where they made their home for 30 years. After retiring, they lived near Big Fork, Mont. until Burton's death in 1999.

Lillian will be remembered for her strength and loving devotion to her family. She was a unique presence who is deeply loved and missed.

Lillian is survived by: her daughters, Rosalie Ramsden (Jack) of Moses Lake and Janice Richardson of Seattle; one sister, Lena Gervais of Klamath Falls, Ore.; three grandchildren, Scott Ramsden (Leslie), Karen Herring (Greg) and Craig Ramsden (Tina); six great-grandchildren, Natalie Lutz and Alayna Herring, Kirk Ramsden, Audrey, Rosalie and Elise Ramsden; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family acknowledges and gratefully thanks the loving staff at Summerwood Special Care Center, where Lillian lived, and everyone at the Moses Lake Clinic who helped us so much.

A family memorial service will be held at a later date.
