Obituary: Earl John Richardson

Earl John Richardson went home to be with the Lord, May 28, 2020. 

He was born in Mahaska, Kansas to Daisy Mae Simpson Richardson and Elden Fay Richardson, who have preceded him in death.

Earl loved to travel and visited most USA states, France, and Israel. During his life he tried many professions including tile setter and truck driver, but his favorite was to be alone in the field on a hay chopper or corn picker. During the last few years, he has been an active member of the Pleasant Senior Center and enjoyed time with his friends there.

He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Cookie Richardson of Winnemucca and 5 daughters, Kathryn Mendoza, Katrina Cobb, Kristina Cobb, Kandace Villalobos, and Kelli Prather.

Those closest to him include his brother-in-law, Walt Wilson, sister-in-law, Dianne Vinson, and friend Will Estes.

Of 9 siblings, 2 survive him, Winifred Baggett, and William Richardson. He is also survived by numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

No services are being planned as Earl had the opportunity to say goodbye to those closest to him in the last week of his life.
