She was born November 2, 1925, in Stannard, the daughter of the late Frank A. Hutchins and Vera A. Hutchins (Phillips).
She graduated from Greensboro High School in the class of 1942, and continued her education at Farmington Teachers College in Farmington, Maine, graduating with a bachelor of science degree in home economics education in the class of 1946.
On June 15, 1948, she married the late Wayne William Richardson at the United Methodist Church in Greensboro Bend.
Una Lou and Wayne met at Quinibeck Camp in Fairlee, where she was working as a cook for the senior camp and he was a herdsman. For two years after graduating from Farmington, she taught home economics at Danville High School, before marrying Wayne and taking a cross-country trip for their honeymoon. They settled in Barton to raise their young family; then in 1961 Una Lou and Wayne purchased the dairy farm belonging to her parents in Stannard.
Una Lou returned to teaching for a few years at Craftsbury Academy and Orleans High School. She then worked as a dietary consultant for rehabilitation and nursing care facilities in Barton, Glover, Greensboro, and St. Albans for nearly 30 years. She was a member of the American Dietetic Association from 1987 to 2001, and in 1997 was selected as the Vermont Dietetic Association’s recognized dietetic technician of the year.
Una Lou was a member of the United Methodist Church in Greensboro Bend and the Touch of Grace Church in East Hardwick, playing organ and teaching adult Sunday school. Other memberships included Eastern Star, Orient Chapter 13 in Barton, Crystal Lake Grange in Barton, and Caspian Lake Grange in Greensboro. She was a long time member of the Hazen Squares, which later became Buffalo Mountain Dancers, where she and Wayne enjoyed square and round dancing. She especially enjoyed playing games and researching genealogy. To her the most important aspects of life were family and faith.
