Dr. Lois Perry Trahan Richardson

Dr. Lois Perry Trahan Richardson, 71 of Brenham, passed away Wednesday, February 9, 2005 in Spring Branch Memorial Hospital in Houston.

Lois was born on September 9, 1933 in Ft. Stockton, Texas to A. P. and Elva (Trimble) Perry. While living in Pasadena, she was a South Houston High School Distributive Education teacher.

Her interests were quilting, genealogy and gardening.

Lois will be missed by many as she was an educator, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Lois’ battle with kidney disease was a tough struggle in which we will be forever grateful for her fighting, as it gave all of us more time with her.
