Eleven years ago we could never have imagined that at this time we would be
treasuring the precious memories of you rather than welcoming all of life's
adventures yet to be faced. You are gone from our sight, but never from our
hearts. We continue to feel your presence with every breath that we take. In
all of life's challenges, we feel your support and know you are always there
quietly guiding us and paving a path that we may follow. Know that we miss you
and when you were taken from our family, not only did a portion of you remain
here with us, but you carried with you a sliver of our own hearts.  Knowing
you're not far from us, watching over us is what keeps us alive. You are truly
our family's guardian angle. When somebody you adore becomes a memory, those
memories become a priceless gift. Love Mom, Dad, Cally, Cheryl, Mlsty, Vicki
and Jeri

Richardson, Irma Alice Bowring
Irma Alice Bowring Richardson 1912 ~ 2004  It is with heavy hearts and sadness
that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother, Irma Alice Bowring Richardson on November 24, 2004, at the
age of 92. She had a frail, worn out little body, which housed within a giant
of a spirit. Never one to seek the worldly riches of this world, she dedicated
her life to her family and those she loved.  Irma was born May 12, 1912, in
Brigham City, Utah, to John Franklin Bowring and Edith Ann Midgley, the
youngest of six children. She was married to E. LV Richardson on December 18,
1933, in the Salt Lake City temple by David O. McKay. They enjoyed 70 years
together. After her first child was born, she was struck with polio, which
left her without the use of her right arm. Having this handicap would have
deterred most from living a normal life, but Mom did not view it as a handicap
and was to bare six more children. To us, she was as normal as anyone and it
was often confusing to us, as children, why other mom's would make such
comments as¬ "how does your mother do it?" There wasn't anything she couldn't
do. She could pin a diaper, drive a "stick shift," even spank our butts with
the best of them. Many have been the recipients of afghans and other crocheted
items lovingly made by this one-armed wonder.  She loved the scriptures, she
loved the gospel and she wanted nothing more than her family to live and love
them too. She understood the purpose of life and wanted all, especially her
family, to share in its blessings and rewards. She touched the lives of so
many with her kindness, selflessness and devotion. Her ability to overcome all
hardships and challenges that came her way was inspiring to all who knew her.
We know her parents are proud of her, we know her husband is proud of her, we
know our Heavenly Father is proud of her, and we want her to know that we are
very proud of her too. Our prayer is that we can honor her, living by her
example, so that one day; she will be able to say that she is proud of us as
well!  She may not have earned the accolades of man in this world, any degrees
from colleges or universities, or have been recognized as a great community
leader, but when her name is called, she can report with her head held high,
knowing she honored the greatest position and calling of all, Mother.  We love
you and will miss your sweet spirit, but are secure in our knowledge of where
you are and whom you are with! Till we meet again, hug them for us. Irma was
preceded in death by her eternal companion and partner of 70 years, E. LV (4
months earlier), a daughter, Sally Ann (age 3 at her passing), her parents
John Franklin and Edith Ann, brothers John Franklin, Jr. and Benjamin Leon,
and sisters Nola Watkins, Edith Winifred Fife, Annie Bertha Welling and Ione
Ulrich Baker. She is survived by her children, Irma Dawn (Richard) Stapley of
Glendale, AZ; David Lynn (Kathy) of Tempe, AZ; John Brent (Linda) of St.
Johns, AZ; Susan (Richard) Price of Lehi, UT; Janese (Kelly) Holt of Orem, UT
and Paul LV (Janice) of Provo, UT; 25 grandchildren and 26 «
great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, November 30th at
11:00 a.m. in the Sharon 1st Ward Chapel, 641 South 400 East, Orem. Friends
and family may call from 9:00-10:45 a.m. prior to the services at the chapel.
