Annie Mae Durden Richardson Obituary

Mrs. Annie Mae Durden Richardson, 84, of Gloverville, SC, wife of the late Edward C. Richardson, entered into rest on Saturday, May 10, 2025, while in the comfort of her home.
A lifelong area resident, she was the daughter of the late Clone and Marie Sizemore Durden. Day's Television formerly employed her. Miss Annie was a longtime member of Gloverville First Baptist Church.
Miss Annie was a beloved mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She cherished her family wholeheartedly and made every effort to be present for every reunion, gathering, or celebration. She knew every family member by name and had a special memory to share about each one. Her deep love extended beyond family. Her friends were as close as kin, and she embraced them with the same warmth and care.
Miss Annie was known for her competitive spirit and quick wit. She especially loved playing cards, whether it was Spades, Rummy, or any other game. She brought energy, strategy, and an unbeatable winning streak to the table. It became a cherished part of family tradition, even as her children and grandchildren playfully attempted to dethrone her, usually without success. Miss Annie also enjoyed making birthday cards, playing the piano and accordion, and working in her yard.
But above all, Miss Annie was a woman of unwavering faith. She lived her life anchored in the word of God and dedicated her heart and soul to Christ.
A true prayer warrior, Miss Annie read her Bible daily, spoke life and scripture into those around her, and continually trusted God's will. Her life testified to His grace, love, and enduring promise. She faced joy and trials with prayer, humility, and steadfast belief in God's plan. She would want to be remembered as a servant of Christ, a soldier for the Heavenly Father who walked boldly in His light.
