LONA MURIEL
RICHARDSON

Mulhearn Funeral Home

West Monroe, LA

Funeral services for Lona Muriel Richardson, 73, of West Monroe will be held 
at 2:00 P.M. Wednesday August 27, 2008 in the chapel of Mulhearn Funeral Home, 
West Monroe with Rev. Greg Dunn officiating. Interment will be in New Chapel 
Hill Cemetery.

Lona was born in West Monroe, LA on October 28, 1934 and died August 24, 2008 
at her residence. She retired from Plant 70 at Riverwood International. After 
retirement, she helped her brother at the 103 Truckstop. Lona was a member of 
New Chapel Hill Baptist Church and the ABWA. Lona, known to us as "Mother, 
Momma, Mimi or Aunt Lona", was an inspiration to everyone she met. She was 
very humble and touched so many lives with the light of her love. Cooking for 
her family and all of us being together made her smile. Christmas was her 
favorite time of year and she blessed each of us with a "Mimi Christmas". The 
yard was filled with lights and dalmations everywhere, the tree so adorned 
with ornaments and gifts - a sight to behold! She would have huge stacks of 
presents, each one of them handpicked by her for each of us. She will be 
greatly missed by everyone who knew her; it is our loss and Heaven's gain. Our 
memories of her will forever live in our hearts. A quote from Lona: "Being a 
mother is like being a quilt, a down comforter, a soft place where a child can 
hide and feel safe. It's like a favorite blanket that fits around you and no 
one else. 5/24/00" We love you Mimi, Mother, Momma, Aunt, Sister, special 
friend.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Maxine and A.O. Milstead Sr.

She is survived by two daughters, Karen Richardson of West Monroe and Lori 
Stinson and husband Kenny Bill of Downsville; two sons, Timmy Richardson and 
Jody Richardson and wife Wendi of West Monroe; three brothers, Buddy Milstead 
and wife Tina, Robert Milstead and wife Marilyn, and Tommy Milstead and wife 
Dude; five grandchildren, Kourtney Griggs, Scott Cloud and wife Susie, Mary 
Lea Dunn and husband Greg, Grayson and Jentri Grace Richardson; four great 
grandchildren, Beaux Griggs, Victoria, Madison and Garrett Dunn; and numerous 
nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Robbie Milstead, Tony Neal, Bill Owens, Jeff Eppinette, 
Jason McKee, and Trey Owens.

Visitation will be from 5:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. Tuesday at Mulhearn Funeral 
Home.

Memorials may be made to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
