Walter Scott Richardson, age 91, of Bloomington, went to heaven to be with his Lord and Savior on August 25, 2018. He was born on June 7, 1927 in Monroe County to William N. and Molly (Culver) Richardson. Walter served as an administrator with the Halls of Residence at Indiana University, retiring as Director of Family Housing after 45 years of service. Walter loved God, family, working in his garden, and keeping an immaculate lawn. His greatest passion was witnessing God’s plan of salvation to everyone he met. In 1997, he was a founding member of the Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Bloomington. He was also a long-time member of the Gideons International. As a Gideon, he was very faithful in speaking at churches, yearly Bible distribution on the IU Campus, and conducting church services at Camp Atterbury with his close friend, Harold Bender.
Walter is survived by his loving family, his wife of 72 years Ruby Gayle (Meadows) Richardson; his daughter and son-in-law, Donna and Stephen Todd, of Bloomington; two grandchildren, Stephanie (Brad) Lindvall and Scott (Beth) Todd; seven great-grandchildren, Joshua Stephen Lindvall, Grace Elizabeth Lindvall, Zachary Scott Todd, Abigail Rose Lindvall, Carter Evan Todd, Owen Fletcher Todd, and Lydia Anne Lindvall.
Walter was preceded in death by his parents, great-grandson Caleb Andrew Lindvall, and his brothers and sisters.
The funeral service will be 1:00 p.m. Saturday at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, 2655 S. Adams Street, with Pastor David Wigington officiating. Entombment will follow in Valhalla Memory Gardens Mausoleum. Friends may visit the family on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the church.
