Obituary

Marie Georgiana (Georgie) Richard was born on September 22, 1938 in Leonville La, to the

Late Percy and Cornelia (Alsandor) Redmond. Georgie answered the final boarding call on the

train bound for Glory on Sunday, January 12, 2025 peacefully in her residence with her

daughter by her side.

Georgie accepted Christ while attending ST Leo Catholic Church in Leonville La. She married

Louis {Shine} Richard and to this union three children were born. Upon leaving Opelousas La

they moved to Houston Texas where she became a member of St. Nicholas Catholic Church for

many years before moving her membership to St Franscis Xavier Catholic Church until the Lord

received her home.

She lived the life of a true Christian. Her motto was "Be kind and compassionate to one another,

forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ."

Georgie began her career with M.D.Anderson Hospital as a maid back in 1965, but around

1972, she became restless and " She wanted to do something different," so she trained to be a

Technician 1 in the Development Therapeutics Department where she worked until retirement in

2003. During her employment at MD Anderson she was nominated for the Outstanding

Employee Award points out,

"She brought out a pleasant, but quiet attitude to a difficult and demanding job. No one fully

appreciates the great job that she did until she was gone for as little as one day. No one could

do her job as well or as completely in her absence.

She serves to communicate between the laboratory and several clinical laboratories-a job that

required tactfulness and special skills of organization. She was a very important part of the total

picture to the laboratory.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Percy and Cornelia Redmond; her daughter Sandra

Richard; her grandson David W. Richard Jr; three sisters: Mary Genevieve White, Lillian

Carmouche, and Vivian Berro; three brothers: Nolan, Nathan and Joseph Redmond; and two

sister in laws; Georgianna and Octava Redmond.

Leaving to celebrate her life and cherish memories, her daughter Shelia Richard and son David

{Lee) Richard of Houston,Texas; six grandchildren: LaShawn Horton, Rhodnicka Bender,

Brandon Richard (Stephanie), Aminat Balogun, David W Richard Jr and Carrington Richard;

sister: Joyce Lemon of Houston and two brothers; Leo Herbert Redmond and Albert Redmond

of Houston.

Five great grandkids: Chanyah Bates, Ke'Avia Horton, Mc Kenzie Bender, Jayden Jones and

Faelynn Alvarez; and one great great grandson: Levi Miller; sister in law: Lillie Redmond;

godchild: Mary Jane Johnson; her neighbor Ms.Lucy, good friend Eleanor Nance Victoria and a

host of loving nieces, nephews and friends
