“Susie” Dorothy Richardson, 73, of Ranger, Texas, passed away early Saturday morning, September 5th, 2015, at Baylor Hospital, Grapevine, TX. Susie was born July 14th, 1942, in Harrisburg, Arkansas, to Irene and Raymond Heeb. She attended Harrisburg High School and graduated from Arkansas State University at Jonesboro in 1964 with a degree in education. Susie lived on a Ranch outside of Ranger, TX, and had been happily married to Charley Mack Richardson (deceased, March, 2014) for nearly 50 years. Susie was sweet, easy-going and always a pleasure to be around. She had a calming energy as well as the precious ability to put life into perspective and focus on what was truly most important. She adored nature and her favorite pastimes included driving around the Ranch with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, caring for new calves, feeding the fish, and checking on all of the animals. She so dearly loved her family. She was preceded in passing by her parents, her husband, and her younger sister, Jackie Mann. Susie is survived by her children, Charley Mack Richardson II and daughter in law, Stacey Richardson, of Charleston, South Carolina, and Chad Richardson of Fisher, Arkansas. She had six grandchildren; Allie Richardson, Ethan Richardson, Lila Richardson, Caitlynn Richardson, CJ Richardson and Milley Mack Richardson, as well as three great-grandchildren; Avery Wells, Brently Wells, and Charley Mack Young. She is also survived by her brother, Jerry Heeb and her sister, Barbara Sanders along with numerous nephews and nieces. A celebration of her life will be held at her Ranch outside of Ranger, Texas, on Saturday, September 19th, at 3pm. There will also be a second memorial held at the cemetery in Fisher, Arkansas, on Saturday, September 26th, at 11am. It was Susie’s desire to have her ashes scattered in several special places in Texas, Arkansas, and South Carolina.
