Margaret Sue Richardson
October 6, 1926 - February 8, 2019

Our beloved Mother left this life in the hands of the Lord on Friday, February 8, 2019. She was in her home surrounded by family when she lost her battle with ovarian cancer. She was the youngest child of early Coleman County pioneers, Hugh and Maggie Wheat, being born on the farm 18 miles southeast of Coleman on October 6, 1926. She graduated from Mozelle High School and Tarleton State University. Then, one day in a drug store in Coleman, she met the love of her life, a Texas A&M student from Coleman by the name of Johnny Richardson. They were married on November 25, 1948. Upon Johnny's graduation from A&M, they moved 14 times in 15 years with the oil business. Soon after moving to San Angelo, they moved to A&M Ave., where she resided for 56 years until her passing. When Johnny died in 1978, she got a social security number and went to work as an aide for SAISD at Reagan Elementary until retiring in 1998. Then in retirement she did what she always had, kept an impeccable home because she was always a bundle of energy. She is survived by her children Susan Denise Richardson, husband Jim of Rockwall, TX, Johnny Dean Richardson, wife Maginer of Lake Ivie, TX, Michael Gene Richardson, wife Connie of San Angelo, TX, and Joy Diane Shelton, husband Curtis of San Angelo, TX; grandchildren Andy Richardson, wife Cori of Lemon Grove, CA, Chris Zentner, wife Dinorah of Mansfield, TX, Matthew Zentner, partner Rene of Tenn., Lance Richardson of Ogallala, NE, Blake Shelton and Slade Shelton of San Angelo, TX; Great-grandchildren Greg Richardson, Abby Richardson, Anthony Jimenez, Michael Jimenez, Nathaniel Zentner, Thomas Zentner, and John Zentner.
