July 31, 1949 - February 12, 2019
James Fredrick ''Fred'' Richardson Sr. of Marion, passed away Tuesday February 12, 2019 in West Memphis at the age of 69. Fred was born in Dyess, Arkansas to parents James and Laverne Richardson. He later in life met and married Sharon (Bennett) Richardson. The two were able to spend the next 45 years together raising their own family before God called him home. Fred was of the Baptist faith. He loved to spend time outdoors hunting and taking care of his antique cars. He was a CPA in the Memphis area for many years. He also had a local office in Marion, James F. Richardson, CPA. Fred was a former City Councilman and Treasurer for the City of Marion.
Fred leaves behind his wife Sharon, his son Jim Richardson (Lindsay) of Beebe, Arkansas, his daughter Sara Beth Scott (Ryan) of Germantown, Tennessee, his sister Deborah Storment (Robert) of Redding, California and his grandchild Evan Scott whom he loved beyond measure. He is preceded in death by his parents. In Lieu of flowers, the family asks that a contribution be made to St. Jude Children Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

Mr. Richardson prepared our taxes and we had a tremendous respect for him. He and his wife were always cordial to us when we went to his office. They were very efficient as well. We loved seeing pictures of their grandson. We miss him and offer our prayers and sympathy.

Dear Sharon and family,
Fred will be missed so much by so many people. He had a winning smile and could always lift your spirits by telling some funny story. Frankie feels like he has lost a brother. I will always cherish how you and Freddie were always there for Frankie.
May God comfort your heart and soul as you go through this time of grieving.
Remember Sharon: “”Cast all your cares upon Jesus; because He cares for you.” 1Peter 5:7
We will see you on Saturday.
Love,
Mary

Sharon and family, my heart is breaking from Freddy’s passing (he’ll always be Freddy to our Class of ‘67.) Freddy was a favorite to everyone at MHS, especially our class, of course. So friendly and kind, he treated everyone the same. He has always had that big heart and great sense of humor that you know so well.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all and will continue to be in the days, weeks and months ahead. May God give you His strength and comfort. God bless you all.

Richardson Family, so sorry to learn of Fred’s passing. I got to know him at the CHS Class of 1969 reunion planning meetings as he accompanied Sharon. I really enjoyed spending time with him. He was so down to earth and likable. I will miss seeing and talking with him at our future meetings. Sending prayers for his family.
