Constance Eileen Richards

Constance “Connie” Eileen Richards, 83, of Hampton, VA went home to be with the Lord on May 12, 2021. She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, Donald L. Richards. She was a proud Navy wife and a loving mother to their three children, John Richards (Pam), Donna Richards Flanders (Lee) and Carole Richards Brumbaugh (Wayne). Connie’s smile would light up a room, especially when speaking of her grandchildren, Travis Brantley (Kasey), Richard Brumbaugh, Courtney Hart (Tracy), Hannah Brumbaugh, Matthew Flanders, William Flanders and three great grandchildren, Nathan, Peyton, and Trey. Connie was born in Newark, Ohio to James F. and Loretta (Dolan) Grady. She was the youngest of seven. She was proceeded in death by her brothers, Jack, James (Barbara), Michael and sisters, Margaret Ann (Gerry), Mary Elizabeth (James) and brother-in-law, William Watson. She is survived by her sister, Elnorah Watson and sister-in-law, Mary Grady and a host of nieces and nephews. Connie never knew a stranger and was blessed with the gift to share a conversation with anyone, anywhere, anytime! She will forever be remembered as the “sweetest lady” by everyone she met. We love you and will miss you. There will be a Celebration of Life at 3:00 PM, on June 5, 2021 at Calvary Assembly of God, 1380 N. Mallory St, Hampton, VA 23663. At the family’s request, those attending the service please dress casually. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Calvary Assembly of God church celebrating her life.
