Mrs. Richardson was born Dec. 3, 1935, in Billings, Mont. She graduated from Powell High School in 1955 and attended Northwestern College in Minneapolis, Minn. She moved to Alaska in 1970, living in Anchorage until moving to Big Lake in 1974. In 1976 she moved to Wasilla, and she returned to Anchorage in 1997.

Her family says, ''Although the disease of cancer may have conquered her body, nothing could defeat her spirit, her love, her hope or her faith in God.'' They went on to quote, '' 'Only one life will soon passed, and only what's done for Christ will last.' ''
Mrs. Richardson is survived by her husband, James Richardson of Anchorage; son, R.J.
