It is with an incredibly heavy heart that we share the sudden passing of my niece, Heather Richard. On 9/23/25, Heather suffered a seizure at home that tragically led to complications. Despite Darrell’s (Heather's Husband) efforts to revive her and the heroic work of medics and doctors, Heather’s body could not recover. At just 48 years old, she passed peacefully after being prayed over and anointed, leaving her family heartbroken but comforted in knowing she is now at peace and watching over her loved ones. Heather was a devoted wife to Darrell and a loving mother to their two children, Gavin (who is autistic) and Alyssa. She was also a passionate teacher who poured her heart into her students and touched countless lives with her kindness, patience, and love. The Richard family is now facing a great loss.. We are asking, if you feel led, to help support this precious family during this unimaginable time by helping with meals, via delivery, doordash, monetary donations or gift cards for food. Your generosity would be greatly appreciated and helpful to Darrell and his children as this family tries to navigate life without Heather.
