Bernadette Klepic Richards Obituary
Atlanta - Bernadette Klepic Richards, age 89,
passed away on Friday, July 25, 2025 in Sarasota, FL after suffering a stroke
in May.
Bernadette was born on August 22, 1935, in Beaver
Falls, Pennsylvania. After graduating from Beaver Falls High School in 1953,
she began her career as a flight attendant with Eastern Air Lines. It was
during this time that she met her future husband, John Richards, a pilot for
Delta Airlines.
The couple initially lived in Atlanta and then
Miami before settling permanently in Atlanta in 1970. Bernadette lived there
for 50+ years before relocating to Sarasota, Florida, to be near her daughter.
An adventurous spirit, Bernadette earned her
pilot's license just in case she needed to land the two-seater Christian Eagle
stunt plane when she and John flew it across the country.
Known for her vibrant personality, Bernadette was
always the life of the party. She had many passions throughout her life,
including spending time at her cherished lake house on Lake Burton, skiing in
the mountains out west, running the Peachtree Road Race with her children, and
golfing at Cherokee Country Club-where she proudly made a hole-in-one. She was
also famous for her legendary Mickey Mouse pancakes, a favorite among her
grandchildren.
Bernadette is survived by her two children:
daughter Lisa Vogt (John) and son John Richards (Dina), as well as five
grandchildren: Allie and Jack Vogt, and Sarah, Charlotte, and Liam Richards.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband
of 55 years, John Richards.
A Funeral Mass and inurnment will be held on
August 9, 2025, at St. Andrew Catholic Church, 675 Riverside Rd, Roswell,
Georgia, where Bernadette was a devoted parishioner for over 40 years. Services
will begin at 11:00 a.m., followed by interment at Green Lawn Cemetery.
The family will announce the location of the
reception at the conclusion of the Mass. All are welcome to attend and
celebrate Bernadette's life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the
Catholic Relief Fund.
