5 Comments on “Eloris Richey”
Eloise was always so friendly with me as a young teenager at church and in later years when I would just run into her somewhere. i know she loved her family. Just a precious lady.
My deepest condolences to your family. She was a strong and dedicated matriarch. I always enjoyed talking with her while visiting with Robert.
Ms. Richey was the sweetest woman I ever met. I have been grooming their dogs for 15 years and she was always a joy to be around. I will miss her hugs every Saturday.
I sure will miss seeing Mrs Richey at Faith Church. She always had the biggest smile and would always come and hug me . I know her family will miss her terribly and I am so sorry for your loss .
I have so many sweet memories of my Aunt Eloris and my Uncle Lester. Enjoyed growing up with my cousins.
