Dorothy was a Homemaker, also having a part time job as a “lunch lady” at a school cafeteria for several years. She loved being around the children and always had quarters in her pocket on ice cream day for those who needed one. Everyone knew her for her love of cooking and kitchen gadgets. She was always excited to share a new recipe or show you her newest gadget. The family waited all year long for the rolls she made at Thanksgiving. Colorado was her favorite place to travel with Don. She loved the mountains and Estes Park.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Donald Richards; and leaves a daughter and son-in-law, Brian and Pam Wyman; two sons and daughter-in-laws, Donnie and Renee Richards, and Brian and Dee Richards; seven grandchildren: Matt, Kyle, Rusty, Jessica, Cory, Christopher and Lindsay; and seven great-grandchildren: Abby, Avery, Landon, Brody, Rylie, Lucca and Dutton.
