Mary Eveline Richeson Barraclough passed away on February 18, 2011 from natural causes. She resided at 170 North 170 East in Orem, Utah at the time of her death.

Mary was born December 11, 1915 in Logan, UT to Ernest Lee and Rosamond Kent Richeson. Mary was the oldest of nine children.

She married Donald A. Barraclough on May 12, 1938, in the Logan Temple. They lived in the old Mount Tabor area of Portland, OR until August of 1948, when they moved to the Westchester area of Los Angeles, where they raised their family. After leaving Westchester, they lived in Camarillo and Santa Rosa, CA. Don and Mary celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary a few days before Don died in May 1998. In July 1999, Mary moved to Orem, UT, where she died.

Mary was raised near Moore, Idaho and Imbler, Oregon. She graduated from high school during the depression. She graduated from Eastern Oregon Normal School, where she earned her teaching degree and taught in a one room school house for two years.

Mary taught early morning seminary for twenty-four years in Westchester Ward and served alongside her husband as he was Bishop for eighteen years. They had a huge influence for good on the lives of many young people. She served for thirteen years in the Los Angeles Temple. Her testimony of Jesus Christ was strong and unwavering.

Mary loved to sew. She made her children's clothing for many years. She loved making crafts that required sewing. Then the Humanitarian bug bit her. For the past twelve years, she has made 1000's of receiving blankets, hundreds of quilts, shorts, pajama pants, dolls, school bags, dresses, and donated them to the Humanitarian Center, United Way and Primary Children's Hospital.

Mary is survived by her four children and their spouses: Nancy (Rod) Houston, Orem, UT; Dale (Bertha), North Hills, CA; Maureen (Roger) Ricks, Sandy, UT; Mary Lynne (Craig) Wilson, Santa Rosa, CA; sixteen grandchildren; forty-one great-grandchildren; and eleven great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two sisters and one brother. Preceded in death by her husband, parents, three brothers, and two sisters.
