Sara Lou Richardson, 94, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday January 20, 2024. Sara is survived by her devoted daughters, Barbara (Ron Boehm) Richardson and Marti (Charles) McCammon, daughter-in-law, Gigi (the late Andrew) Richardson and son Mark Richardson. Also survived by loving grandchildren: Ronnie and Emily Boehm; Alexa and Stephanie Richardson; Rachel, Julie and Brian McCammon; and Mark, Christopher and Michael Richardson, Jennifer Emmett, and Jessica Puglisi, as well as 24 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Sara was preceded in death by her beloved husband Joseph W. “Shine” Richardson III; devoted sons, Andrew “Andy” Richardson and Joseph W. “Jeff” Richardson IV; parents Isabell and Samuel Ansbach and siblings Park Ansbach and Ruth Ann (Ansbach) Faulkner. Sara Lou grew up in Bellevue PA, married Shine and spent many happy years lovingly raising their family in the South Hills and Bethel Park PA. She was blessed to have given birth to two sets of twins 15 years apart. Sara loved to spend time with her family and loved caring for her grandchildren. She volunteered her time to help others, was a Boy Scout and Girl Scout leader, served on the Election Board, and was a longtime member of Peters Creek Presbyterian Church. Sara was a talented seamstress who sewed beautiful clothing for her family, was a wonderful cook who prepared delicious meals and was a savvy shopper who loved to find bargains at garage sales. Sara was a champion at crossword puzzles, Scrabble and word games. In December of 2022, Sara moved to Lakeland FL to be closer to her daughter. Sara was always pleasant and kind; often singing and sharing her good nature with everyone around her. Sara was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother and she will be extremely missed.
