She was born on December 25, 1929 in Montcoal, West Virginia to Robert and Myrtle Ballard. She was a true "Coal Miners Daughter", since her Father worked in the coal mines most of his life and she grew up working on the card and helping raise her 11 Brothers and Sisters. It was a hard life but she proudly looked back at her time in the country.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by 6 Brothers and 5 Sisters, Loraine, Carl, James, Calvin, Mabel, Pauline, Kathleen, Louise, Robert Jr., Clyde, Charles and 2 of her children, Robert Richardson of Spring, Tx., and Joyce Hyatt of New Port Richey, Florida.
She married Ralph Richardson in 1947 and eventually moved to Chicago, Illinois where they had 4 children together: Roger, Robert, Joyce and Ricky. Surviving children are Roger Richardson and wife, Kathy Richardson of The Woodlands, Tx., and Ricky Richardson and wife Dorothea of Park City, Illinois. In later years she married John Uccardi and they lived in New Port Richey, Florida until his death. Leaving Florida, she moved to Houston, Tx., area to be closer to 2 of her sons and Grandchildren.
She was the proud Grandmother of 9 and was blessed with many Great Grandchildren as well as too many nieces and nephews to count.
She was active in her church and loved singing. She was also a loyal New York Yankee baseball fan and never missed one of the games on her TV. She would sit up all night if the team was on the west coast and cheer them on.
A visitation for Margaret will be held Sunday, July 23, 2023 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Calvary Hill Funeral Home, 21723 Aldine-Westfield Road, Humble, TX 77338. A celebration of life will occur Monday, July 24, 2023 at 2:00 PM at The Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church, 4881 W. Panther Creek Dr., The Woodlands, TX 77381. A reception will occur Monday, July 24, 2023 at 3:00 PM at The Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church, 4881 W Panther Creek Dr., The Woodlands, TX 77381.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting any donations to be made to The Woodlands Community Presbyterian Church in The Woodlands, Texas.
