Dretha Mae Richards Obituary
We are sad to announce that on March 13, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Dretha Mae Richards (Dakota, Minnesota), born in San Bernardino, California. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As we bid Dretha Mae farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Dretha Mae is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Frank and Vera (Gaddy). She is survived by: her husband Gary Richards; her great grandchild Arthur Heyer; her daughters, Kellie Thackeray (Deven) of Tonopah, NV, Tracy Heyer (Dean) of Onalaska, WI and Jackie Richards of Eagle, ID; and her brothers, Duane Gaddy (Donna) of Rochester, WA and Dennis Gaddy (Jeanette) of Pahrump, NV. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren, many nieces and nephews.
Memorials may be given to St. John's Lutheran Church or Ronald McDonald House, Rochester, MN.
