Belinda Richardson

Belinda Richardson was born into this world in Montgomery, Alabama, on October 24, 1953, and, in the early hours of April 5, 2019, she shed her mortal cloak and all of this world’s cares to rest in the Bosom of Abraham.

She is preceded in death by her father, Roy Rabren. She is survived by her adoring husband of 45 years, David; five children, Daniel (Sarah), Benjamin, Bethany (Tony) Tucker, Andrew (Rebecca), and Joshua (Brittany); 27 grandchildren; mother, Betty Rabren; brother, Wayne Rabren; a large extended family; and a host of friends and honorary children and grandchildren who loved their Momma Bea.

Belinda was a follower of Jesus Christ, a loving wife, mother and grandmother, a mother figure to dozens, and a long-time homeschooling pioneer and advocate. Belinda was a very active and faithful member of the church of Christ in Wetumpka, Alabama, having worked and worshiped with that church for 25 years. She also organized several health food co-ops in the Montgomery area for more than 30 years. She was the best cook that most of us knew; her spaghetti, shipwreck casserole and custard pies were second to none. Over the years, she cooked hundreds of meals for those who just moved, were ill, or whose loved ones had passed. She loved to read, spend time with family, work with the church, listen to music, sing, and tell stories about how she fell in love with David and raised her children.

Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Belinda at the Wetumpka Church of Christ, 408 W. Bridge Street, Wetumpka, Alabama, Tuesday, April 9, 2019. Family will receive visitors from 1:30 p.m., and the funeral is at 3:00 p.m. There will be a graveside service immediately following at the Georgia Road Church of Christ Cemetery, in Wetumpka, Alabama.
