Barbara C. Richmond
Barbara Carolyn Richmond, age 98, died September 2, 2019 in Silverdale, Washington. She was born August 4, 1921 in New London, Connecticut where she grew up. She graduated from Williams Memorial Institute in 1939 and Mitchell College in 1941. She was married to Chester A. Richmond, Jr. for 70 years and moved with him to his many duty stations throughout his 38-year Coast Guard career.
She enjoyed traveling, needlework and as the mother of seven children was involved in their school, church, and scouting activities. As a den mother, she spent many years helping her four sons in their scouting activities. As her children grew, she collected mementos to celebrate their accomplishments, activities, and interests.
