Sylvia Juanita DSylvia Juanita Duncan Richardson was a wonderful woman. She was well known and loved by all. It was my extreme pleasure and honor to know her and work with her as her Administrative Office Associate. She taught me so much and awakened my creativity in designing floral arrangements and other items. I will truly miss her outgoing personality and fun loving spirit. Rest In Peace Sylvia. Joe has been waiting for you.uncan Richardson
A talented and creative co worker and a partner in tapping creativity in children. Sylvia made a difference.
Ahh, Miss Sissy you can do your Hillbilly dance like nobody’s looking. Aaron just called to tell me where you are. Timothy and Essie, I regret that in lieu of flowers, I will be on my way to finally see those tulips in Keukenkof, Netherlands that she I talked about so much when the AFS tour sent a friend of mine. What unversal syncronicity. Some of the best years of my life were when we were in each other’s lives. Miss Sissy continues to be loved and sorely missed.
Ms Richardson was my first principal when I moved to RVA from NYC. To the family I offer a prayer ?? of comfort for your loss.
Sylvia. God has a plan for each one of us…and I think there is an especially wonderful one for u. Rest in peace, Grand Lady!!
Sylvia was a creative and caring elementary school principal. She was also personable and very pleasant when we encountered each other. She did the flowers for my wedding and the arrangements were beautiful. I enjoyed running into her after we both had retired. We had interesting and informative chats. I will miss her presence in the universe.
RIP. Sylvia was a great principal. We had children in Bellevue and she made the school one of the best. Loved her.
