February 14, 1923 - January 15, 2017
Mozelle Richardson, age 93, of Harrison, passed away Sunday, January 15, 2017, in Denison, Texas. She was born February 14, 1923, in Eros, Arkansas, the daughter of William Vernon and Nola (McEntire) Copeland. She
was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 40 years, W. H. Richardson; her daughter, Pamela Kay Fallis; two brothers, Ralph Copeland and Robert Copeland; and
her sisters, Ruby Anthony, Dessie Milum, and Otha Akins.
Mozelle was a pastor's wife that absolutely loved her job and everything associated with it. She had a heart for missions and spent her life serving others. Prior to her marriage, she worked for Obermans/Levi Strauss in Harrison where she made many friends. People loved to hear her laugh and her giggle was her trademark. She was always on the go. She dearly loved her family and her church.
Mozelle was a skilled seamstress who made all the clothing for herself and her three daughters. She also had an excellent Alto voice and was in a quartet that regularly sang on the radio in the forties. But most of all, Mozelle was a wonderful, loving person that will be dearly missed.
Mozelle is survived by her daughters and son-in-law, Brenda Richardson of Little Rock, Arkansas and Rhonda and Bill Brown of Pottsboro, Texas; her ''adopted'' daughter, Deborah Martin; and many other family and friends.
Funeral service was Wednesday, January 18, 2017, at First Assembly of God Church, with Rev. Cecil Culbreth officiating. Visitation was one hour prior to the service at the church, all under the direction of Roller-Christeson Funeral Home.
Interment was in Maplewood Cemetery.
Pallbearers were family and friends.

Mom Mozy was her name to me. She was like a second mother. Words can't describe her. She took care of me when I had surgery a couple of different times. She could make the "best" biscuits and gravy ever. She made dressing for me to take to my family at Christmas, and not your average dressing either. She sewed for me several different times. She had a great sense of humor and loved to tease. She was a lot to fun to be around. If I needed prayer I knew who to go to and I knew everything would be alright when she prayed. She was a angel on earth and I really believe that! I loved her and will miss her so much. Now, she's an angel with Jesus.

When I first moved to Harrison, Mozelle befriended me at church and she was a dear friend. She reminded me constantly that the Joy of the Lord was my strength and I depended on that joy to get me through some tough times. She was always so positive and I will forever smile when I have memories of times spent with her. She was sincerely a blessing to me and my family.

I haven't seen Mozelle since Ruby's funeral but thought of her often. I spent the night at the Copelands house several times as a child. Ruby was like a second mother to me. Sorry for your loss
