Darline Theresa Richardson

With joy and heavy hearts, we celebrate the life of Darline T. Richardson, who was born on Friday, February 22, 1946, and passed away on Thursday, January 8, 2026. Darline was a loving mother and grandmother, cherished for her warmth, spirit, and devotion to her family.

Darline is preceded in death by her parents, Hank and Jacquline Weber; four siblings, Joanne Wallace, Hank “Squeaky” Weber, two grandchildren, Donald Eining and Raymond Michael (Richardson) Parmeley.

Throughout her life, Darline exemplified the meaning of family. She was a source of unwavering support and love for her daughters, Denise Clinton, and Shelia Turner, along with her son, Raymond Richardson. The light of her life was her special needs granddaughter, Cheyenne, with whom she created countless cherished memories. Their bond brought her immense joy, and she reveled in moments spent together, celebrating the beauty and uniqueness of life.

She is survived by her loving children; Denise Clinton and husband Charles, Shelia Turner and husband Jesse, and Raymond Richardson and wife Amanda; five grandchildren, Lisa Reynolds, Rachael Clinton, Charles Clinton, Cheyenne Richardson and Brayden Richardson; eleven great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild; along with several nieces and nephews- and a special niece Shannon Hanks who was dear to her heart. Darline’s pride and joy were her beloved furbabies, Chance and Cocoa, whom she leaves behind. They brought her immeasurable happiness, and Chance was rarely ever away from her side, providing constant companionship and comfort.

Darline had a spirited personality, and her love of playing Bingo was a testament to her zest for fun and connection. Gatherings during family holidays brought her great happiness, as she cherished every opportunity to gather around the table, share laughter, and create memories with those she adored.

There will be a Celebration of Life at a later date. May Darline rest in eternal peace.

Arrangements are under the direction of C.Z. Boyer Funeral Home in Bonne Terre.
