Mildred 'Chickie' Richardson Obituary (1932

LACONIA, NH - Mildred "Chickie" (Iacono) Richardson, 78, a longtime resident of Laconia, New Hampshire and formerly of Gloucester, passed away on October 31, 2010 after a 24 year battle with breast cancer. She was the beloved wife of the late Wes Richardson, Sr. of Laconia New Hampshire. Mrs. Richardson was born on September 6, 1932, a daughter of the late Romeo and Mildred Iacono. She was also the sister to the late Barbara Taylor of Chelmsford and the late Stanley Iacono of Melrose. Chickie was trained as a nurse in the United States Navy, then worked as a Nurse for Raytheon Company in Bedford for 38 years before retiring. She did not marry until she was 65 years old. It is one of those great love stories. Her childhood sweet heart that her parents made her break up with because he was not Italian when she was sixteen had recently widowed. He set to find her using a detective, and they married less than a year later. She would tell you it was the best time of her life, and she would have gone down the church aisle on roller skates, if it would have gotten her there faster to marry him. Chickie is survived by her niece and husband, Sue and Kyle O'Brien and their three children Taylor, Ireland, and Colin of Chelmsford; her nephew and wife, Ronald, Jr. and Deb Taylor of Roswell Georgia and their two children Emma and Wesley; her niece and husband, Diane and Tom Murphy of Westford; her brother in law, Ronald Taylor of Chelmsford, her three step children, Wesley Richardson, Jr. and his wife Stephanie, Judy Golden and Patti Richardson of Laconia New Hampshire, and four step grandchildren James, Owen, Wesley, and Christian. Her Memorial Visitation will be held at the BLAKE FUNERAL HOME, 24 Worthen Street, CHELMSFORD, on Thursday November 4th from 4 until 7PM. Burial will be private.
