Christine Cobb Richardson, 90, of Leonard, Texas passed away on Monday September 16, 2013 at the Sandy Lake Rehabilitation Center at Coppell, Texas with her daughter at her bedside.

She graduated from Leonard High School.

Christine married Wayne Richardson in March of 1941. Together they had two children, Bill Richardson and Fran Richardson. After Christine reared her children and cared for her aging parents, she decided to go back to school in the late seventies. She graduated from East Texas State University at Commerce Texas, with honors, receiving a Social Science degree. She began working at the Trenton SNAP Center as Director, where she worked over thirty years. She devoted 100% of her love, energy and hard work to all who attended the center.

Christine had a passion for gardening and her little dog, Lucky. Her yard was her pride and joy and she was rewarded for all her hard work. It was always a beautiful site and she loved to share it with anyone who had the time to look. She will be greatly missed.
