Myrtle Allene Richie, 87, of Villa Rica, GA died Monday, September 28, 2020 in Tanner Medical Center, Villa Rica.
She was born in Richmond, Kentucky on January 10, 1933, the daughter of the late Dewey E. Spears and the late Lucy Williams Spears.

She moved from Tampa, Florida to this area in 1996. She was a former member of TOPS, the Silver Sneakers and the Temple Senior Center where she spent many happy hours with her friends. She was very family oriented and enjoyed nothing more than "family gatherings". She loved to cook and bake for her family and enjoyed canning vegetables and fruits.
