Edna Richmond, 88, was born on January 9, 1935, in Winchester, TN. She married and moved to Chattanooga, TN where she was a bookkeeper/accountant by trade. She was born again in 1968 and loved God supremely. She taught her children to be strong and to love one another. She taught by example and her left strong children as a result of her dedication. Her children were her life and everything she did was for them. She was loved by all and had a great sense of humor. Her smile would light up a room and her clear turquoise blue eyes sparkled whether she met family or a complete stranger. Her grace, love, and beautiful heart was larger than her 5′ frame. She will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing her.

She was welcomed into Heaven by her Savior, Jesus Christ, and her daughter Connie Denise Richmond-Justus on July 28, 2023.

Edna is survived by her children Karen Ann Richmond-Hancock (Tommy), Danny Eugene Richmond (Kay), Charles Ryan Richmond (Paula), Tina Darlene Richmond-Riehle (Rick), Richard DeWayne Richmond (Terri), Michael Wayne Richmond (Sharlene), and Brian Heath Richmond (Narmeen). She also leaves behind 23 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren.

Mom, we miss you already!
