The family plans a private celebration of life at a later date in Springfield, Mo.
Patricia “Patty” (Richardson) Asanti was born February 25, 1957 in Columbia to the late John and Margaret Richardson. She was raised in Columbia along with her three siblings Debbie, Cindy and David. She was a graduate of Hickman High School.
Patty was blessed with a son, Cody Asanti, and step-daughter, Lindsey Ward. She loved baking them cakes for special occasions and enjoyed the simple but special time with family spent around the kitchen table.
Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Patty knows that she loved her family, her dog Zoey and the outdoors. She enjoyed walking, being in nature and exploring the outdoors with family at Pomme de Terre Lake and the Springfield Nature Center among others.
She is survived by her son Cody (Samantha) Asanti of Springfield and step-daughter Lindsey Ward of Centralia; six grandchildren, Phiefer, Jude and Clair Asanti of Springfield and Caitlin, Sean and Joseph Ward of Centralia; her sister Cindy (Jeff) Parshall of Columbia and David Richardson of Springfield and her 5 neices and nephews and their children.
Patty was preceded in death by her father and mother John and Margaret Richardson and her sister Deborah Humfeld.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to your local animal shelter or nature preserve.
