OBITUARIES

Theodora Marie Richardson
Sydney Brockway, a 2019 Grant Union High School graduate, constructed a new sign for
the Grant County Historical Museum.
March 31, 1938 – June 1, 2019
Teddie Valade Richardson, 81, lov-
ing wife, mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother, passed away on
June 1. Per her wish, no funeral ser-
vices will be held. The family asked
that she be remembered in prayer, with
kindness and love.
Teddie was born on March 31,
1938, in Prairie City, Oregon, to Ralph
and Bessie Vera Valade (Rix). She
attended primary school in John Day,
Oregon, and high school at Ramey Air Base in Puerto Rico.
While in Puerto Rico, she met and married Ralph O. John-
son; together they had four children. They settled in Tucson,
Arizona, in 1964. She completed academic studies at Pima
Community College and the University of Arizona.
Teddie remarried in 1980 to Ben Richardson and remained
in Tucson until she retired in 2010. Teddie always wanted to
return to the area in Oregon where she grew up and truly
considered home. Together, she and Ben moved to Prairie
City in late 2010, where they remained happily in love and
devoted to one another until the time of her passing.
Teddie was an extraordinary amateur genealogist and
shared her knowledge of family ancestry with others. She
had a natural green thumb and loved growing plants and
fl owers. Her fascination with birds led to a lifelong collec-
tion of fi gurines that she treasured. The music of Josh Gro-
ban soothed her spirit, and there was nothing that could not
be fi xed when she had a bouquet of carnations to gaze upon.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Ben Richard-
son; four children, Sheila Becking, Marcus Johnson, Vic-
tor Johnson and Julia (Mark) Witzens; grandchildren, Brett
(Rebecca) Becking, Valade Witzens and Mathew Becking;
and great-grandchildren, Cooper and Mila.

A man wakes up in the
morning after sleeping
on an ADVERTISED
BED, in ADVERTISED
PAJAMAS.
Monday - Thursday
7am- 6pm
Friday 8am - 5pm
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR, have a
breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an ADVERTISED TOASTER,
put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work
in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED
PEN. Yet this person hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally,
when his non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.

Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!
