IN LOVING MEMORY OF SHERRY CAMILLE
On Saturday morning at 2 o'clock, January 26, 1946, the Death Angel
came and carried Sherry Camille away to live with Jesus. She was the
little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Campbell, Jr.
Little Sherry Camille leaves a dear father, mother and a darling
little brother, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her
loss.
We used to be happy,
We laughed at our play;
But now that you are gone,
The days are all gray.
I miss you, dear Sherry,
Your shouts and your cheers;
And I will be lonely
All down through the years
Dear Sherry has gone to rest,
Her voice no more we'll hear;
Till we reach that land of blest,
Then we'll see Sherry dear.
Sherry has gone from earth to Heaven,
To the shining courts above;
To dwell with Jesus forever,
Where all is peace and love.
Now, friends, let's live for Jesus,
And meet Sherry over there;
Where all is peace and joy,
In that home so bright and fair.
We all hope someday to meet her
In that happy home beyond the sky;
For there is a glad day coming
In the future time bye and bye.
(One who loved her, Maggie Doll Lucas.)

Alvin Clovis "Buddy" Richards
Jan 30, 1948 - Oct 15, 2019
Alvin
Clovis (Buddy) Richards, of Corsicana, passed away from this
world to the next on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2019 after a brief
battle with numerous illnesses. After an early morning visit
with his beloved wife Wanda where he exclaimed "I was
waiting to see you!", Buddy peacefully fell to sleep into
the arms of the Lord.
Buddy was born Jan. 30, 1948 in Corsicana to his loving
parents Barney and Essie Hunter Richards. He grew up in a
household with two younger brothers where what you think
happened probably did. Lots of mischief and rough housing
within the walls of his home and the neighborhood was a
normal occurrence. And as expected, Buddy was the ramrod,
the protector, and the chief troublemaker of the bunch. The
only saving grace were his two cousins (really sisters at
heart) that grew up across the street from him with his
Grandparents. After finishing his education at Corsicana ISD
in the mid 60's, Buddy moved out and started a family and
his career. Buddy spent 30 plus years making a living as a
butcher at numerous locations in the area including the
renowned 3rd Avenue Meat Market here in Corsicana. When not
working, Buddy enjoyed spending time with family, hunting,
fishing, hustling pool, and playing dominos. Buddy was a
long time member at Community Baptist Church in Corsicana,
Texas. His other passions included gardening, raising
cattle, chickens, and hummingbirds. Only a few years back,
you could probably catch him dancing down at the VFW on
Friday and Saturday nights! Faith, freedom, football, and
family were all important to Buddy. If you were around him
for just a minute, it wouldn't take too long for a
conversation or argument to strike up about God, Politics,
the Corsicana Tigers, or who he was he related to.
Buddy is survived by his loving wife of 30 years Wanda
Richards; three sons, Joey Richards and wife Sheila, Chad
Richards and wife Teresa, Shane Richards and wife Jennifer;
daughters, Tammy French-Hall and husband Dr. Hall, Christa
Cobb, Jennifer Tatum; son, Ronny Bearden and wife Melissa
all of Corsicana; grandchildren, Brooke Richards, Hannah
Basden , Laura Basden, Chesney Richards all of Corsicana,
Mattie Richards of Van, Dale Harwell and Gaby, Lacie Oglesby
and husband Kenton of Wills Point, Dusty Livingston, Lee
Opry, Destiny Tidwell, Dalton Tidwell, Dillon Tidwell,
Aubrey Cobb, Cody Bearden, JoJo Bearden, James Bearden all
of Corsicana; brothers, Billy Richards and wife Sharon of
Corsicana, James Richards and wife Beverly of Maypearl;
sisters at heart Jackie Nicholson of Corsicana, Jo Carolyn
Lovelady and husband Donald of Gilmer. Buddy also leaves
behind an enormous host of loving family of great
grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless
friends who will miss him dearly.
Buddy was preceded in death by his parents Barney and Essie
Hunter Richards, and his grandson and namesake Alvin "Hagen"
Richards.
Visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, October 18,
2019 at Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home. Memorial Service will
begin at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019 at Cowboy Church of
Corsicana. Burial will follow at
Younger Cemetery.
Pallbearers will be Scott Richards, Billy Richards Jr.,
Kristy Dowd, Dale Harwell, John Elrod, Lupe Martinez.
Honorary pallbearers will be Danny Richards, L.D. "Derwood"
Richards, David "Punchy" Dycus, James Carver, Dale Lee,
Jimmy Whistler, Johnny Richards, Aubrey Cobb and Walter
Crockett. The family would like to extend their deepest
thanks to son in law Dr. Jim Hall for all his loving care.
The family is also secure and comforted in knowing that
Buddy and Hagen are together again spending time as PawPaw
and Grandson.
