Margaret Marie
Richards
Margaret Marie Richards, 32, of Greenville, Ohio went to be with the
Lord on August 30, 2013 at James Cancer Center after a valiant battle
with cancer. Margaret was born in Dayton, Ohio on May 15, 1981 to
Scott and Joyce (Schafer) Richards.
Margaret was a graduate of Greenville High School. She had worked
for her dad at Richards Construction, Gade Nursing Home, GTI, Camp
Otterbein and Camp Widewater in Ohio. She had also worked at Hole
in the Wall Gang camps in Connecticut and most importantly was recently
focused on “coffee with friends”.
Margaret met life with lots of passion. She was passionate about
the cause of Christ and her own relationship with God remains an
example for others to pursue. She was also passionate about
people. You never left her presence without feeling better than
when you arrived. Time spent with Margaret was sure to be infused
with laughter, hope and love. She was a courageous individual
that spent her time loving others and loving Christ. Margaret
lived her life to meet Jesus and was victorious in her battle –
exemplifying grace and dignity in all she did.
Margaret was artistic and creative. She loved animals, especially
llamas, owls and turtles – or cooters as she lovingly referred to
them. She was proud of her Celtic lineage and enjoyed spending
time with friends and family.
Margaret is preceded in death by grandparents, Don and Elizabeth
Schafer; a grandfather, Ray Richards; and an aunt, Janet Richards.
In addition to her parents, Margaret is survived by a brother, Warren
Richards; a grandmother, Lenore Richards; aunts and uncles, Janet
Jaggers and Scott (Childers), Mark and Jewell Michaels, Dr. Don
Schafer, and Daniel Richards; great aunts, Korleen Mangas and Dixie
Byrum; great uncles, David and Barbara Cummings and Lawrence Cummings;
