Patricia Ruth Richards

RICHARDS, Patricia Ruth, born in Cleveland, left us for a better place on Thursday, January 17, 2008, due to cancer. Pat was a beautiful, great, and wonderful wife and mother. She is survived by her husband of 33 years, Phil; her sister Annie and her husband, Ralph, who live in Painesville; her 3 daughters and their husbands: Carol (Charlie), Linda (Phil), and Debbie (Jeff); 4 grandchildren: Shayne, Kristen, Bob, and Mackenzie; 3 great grandchildren, and her father and mother-in-law, Bob and Angela, all who live locally. The family misses her, but will always love her. May she rest in peace in God's everlasting love. Donations in Pat's memory, in lieu of flowers, may be made to St. Mary's Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 653, Waynesville, OH 45068, or to St. Mary's Community Fund (to help others in need) at the above address, or to Hospice of Dayton, 324 Wilmington Ave., Dayton, OH 45420. A Memorial Service and Eucharist will be held at St. Mary's (on the corner of Third & Miami St.) on Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 12:00pm, followed by a reception in the parish hall. A family only interment will take place later that afternoon.
