OBITUARY: Brittany P. Richardson

Brittany P. Richardson, age 17 of Norris City and formerly of New Haven, gained her wings after long battle with cancer on Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2014, at her home surrounded by her family.

Brittany was born in Evansville, Ind., on Nov. 28, 1997, to her loving parents, Kevin and Tina (Fals) Richardson. Growing up she was always loving, caring and compassionate child. She attended Gallatin County School and was faithful member of the Crossroads Bible Church in Norris City. Even before her sickness she was a special person always caring for others, and when her life changed due to this she only became more special. Always positive, always caring about others and mostly wanting everyone to know about God. Her contagious smile and witty and serious sayings would captivate you. If anyone ever lived her testimony it was Brittany. Peace became her by word and symbol, how ironic that is, as this world needs Peace so much right now. Brittany was a wonderful daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend. Gone but never forgotten. Peace Brittany!

Brittany is survived by her parents, Kevin and Tina (Fals) Richardson of Norris City; a brother, Clinton Richardson of Norris City; maternal grandparents, Steve and Sheila Fals of Cottonwood; paternal grandparents, Jim and Kay Richardson of New Haven; great-grandparents, Nancy Fals and Janice Gross; many uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.

Visitation for Brittany was Saturday, Dec. 27, 2014, at the Crossroads Bible Church in Norris City from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Her funeral service immediately followed at the church starting at 1 p.m. The Rev. Chad Everett officiated and interment followed in the Union Ridge Cemetery near New Haven.

Cox & Son Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements. In lieu of flowers the family ask donations be made the Riley's Children's Hospital in Indianapolis, Ind., in her memory. Envelopes will be available at the church.
