Ionia Sentinel-Standard - Fri. July 27, 2012


Natasha "Tasha" Rose Richardson, 21, formerly of Battle Creek. A beautiful 
light in this world was extinguished on July 20, 2012, due to a tragic 
automobile accident. Tasha was a bubbly, energetic, fun-loving, loyal and 
beautiful inside and out young woman. She lived life to the fullest and was 
loved by so many.

She was home on leave from the military before deploying to Japan for three  
years when the accident occurred. She had recently finished a tour of duty in 
Qatar and was stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. Tasha had made the 
rank of Sergeant while she was still 20 years old and had earned many other 
military honors. She had a promising future before her.

While in high school at Pennfield she excelled in sports and played softball, 
basketball and volleyball. She was nicknamed "Mop" by her fellow teammates on 
her basketball team because of her tenacious spirit which drove her to dive 
after the ball no matter where it was-the floor, bleachers or anywhere. She had 
a "never quit" attitude that extended to all areas of her life.

She is dearly loved by her family and friends and a huge void has been left in 
our lives.

She was born Natasha Rose Richardson on Dec. 31, 1990, in Newport News, Va. She 
is survive by her parents, Theresa (Pete) Krontz and Jason Richardson; 
stepmother, Heather Casarez; older sister, Catie Richardson, younger sister, 
Makenzie Richardson; brother, Jason D. Richardson II; step sisters, Lainey 
Krontz and Kimberly Casarez; step brothers, Sean Krontz and Tylor Craft; and 
grandparents, David and Gladys Nice and David and Madolyn Richardson.  

Tasha would not have wanted dark, somber colors at her funeral so the family is 
asking those who attend to wear bright, colorful clothes to honor her memory. 
She would want it very casual with shorts and flip flops, too.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions in Tasha's name be made 
to the Calhoun County Animal Shelter or an animal rescue. Visitation will be 
held Thursday from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. at the Richard A. Henry Funeral Home. 
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m., Friday, July 27, 2012, at the First 
Wesleyan Church with Pastor Glenn Russell officiating.

Interment with full military honors will be held at Fort Custer National 
Cemetery.
