Obituary of Deborah Jean Richardson

Deborah Jean "Debbie" (nee Bedwell) passed peacefully Monday, May 18, 2015 with her family by her side. Born March 6, 1956 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Debbie was the daughter of Hubert "Sam" Bedwell and Barbara Padgett Bedwell. Debbie devoted her life to her family. Her proudest titles were wife, Mom, and “Grams,” and the generous and loving way she filled these roles has inspired not only her own family members, but the many others whose lives she has touched. Debbie was a 1974 graduate of Lebanon High School and attended Miami University. Preceded in death by her father, Debbie leaves behind her adoring husband Rick Richardson; children Ryan (Forrest Deegan), Ashley (Jon Steimel), and Jordan (Stephanie Heinsons); grandchildren Adleigh and Sutton Deegan and Lila and Evan Steimel; mother Barbara Bedwell; and countless other family members and friends. A reception will be held to honor Debbie's life Friday, May 22, 2015 from 6pm until 8pm at the Stine Kilburn Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Lebanon High School Friends of Academics or a charity of your choice to honor Debbie’s passion for education.
