Melinda Richard, 52, born in Morgan City, LA, and a resident of Belle River, LA 
left to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, September 11, 2013; 
surrounded by her loving family.

Melinda leaves behind to cherish her memories her soul mate of 38 years, Kim 
"P-Lou" Richard of Belle River; one son Jacob Richard and his fiance' Joei 
Poulsen of Belle River, two daughters Kim R. Crappell and her husband Mark of 
Stephensville; and Kelly Richard of Belle River; her step-dad Thomas Giroir of 
Pierre Part; two sisters Charlene Blanchard (whom was also her best friend) and 
her husband Adam of Belle River, and Rhonda Landry and her husband Paul of

Melinda loved and lived for her family, and friends. She enjoyed going to 
church. As past time, she liked the simple things, like sitting on her porch, 
being outdoors. Her house was always open to anyone, and you can bet there was 
always food prepared.

2013 at Hargrave Funeral Home from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm; and will continue 
Monday, September 16, 2013 at Hargrave Funeral Home from 8:00 am until services
