Marjorie See Richards passed away at Friendship Village Chesterfield on May 29, 2025 at the age of 93. She was born in Sewickley, Pennsylvania on June 11, 1931. She was predeceased by her husband William (Bill) Newman Richards and her daughter Susan Louise Richards. She is survived by her daughter Cheryl Anne Richards and her grandchildren Christina Suzanne Baer and Ariana/Aidan Baer.

She graduated from Pennsylvania State University and received a master’s degree from New York University. She taught home economics in a public high school and helped her husband manage his business. She lived in New York and Maryland before moving to the St. Louis, Missouri area. Her hobbies included drawing, painting, and outdoor activities like hiking, canoeing, birdwatching, and gardening. She and Bill roadtripped to many national parks in their trusty Jeep and she did an eight-mile hike in Bryce Canyon for her 80th birthday. She volunteered as a Master Gardener at Brookside Gardens in Maryland for over 10 years. After moving to St. Louis, she spent many hours pulling up honeysuckle in Creve Coeur parks and sneaking plants into Cheryl’s yard!

At her request no service will be held.

Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to Friends of Brookside Gardens (1800 Glenallan Avenue, Wheaton, MD 20902, www.friendsofbrooksidegardens.org).
