The most important thing in the world to Mrs. Richardson was her family. She loved to talk to and about her family and let them know how proud of them she was. She loved them constantly and unconditionally! She even helped raise her grandchildren, who lovingly called her “Amore” and “Mamaw”. She loved to have her grandchildren help her make cookies, but only she could make the “World’s Best Fudge”! Her other passion was listening to music and her favorite musician was Elvis. She listened to him regularly. She went to several concerts and met him when she was a young girl! Even getting his autograph on the back of one of her grade school pictures. In her professional life, she was a medical transcriptionist for a number of years. “She was a little woman with a Big Heart”.
