She had a frail, worn out little body, which housed within a giant of a spirit. Never one to seek the worldly riches of this world, she dedicated her life to her family and those she loved. Irma was born May 4, 1912, in Brigham City, Utah, to John Franklin Bowring and Edith Ann Midgley, the youngest of six children. She was married to E. LV Richardson on December 18, 1933, in the Salt Lake City Temple by David O. McKay. They enjoyed 70 years together. After her first child was born, she was struck with polio, which left her without the use of her right arm. Having this handicap would have deterred most from living a normal life, but Mom did not view it as a handicap and was to bare six more children. To us, she was as normal as anyone and it was often confusing to us, as children, why other moms would make such comments as "How does your mother do it?" There wasn't anything she couldn't do. She could pin a diaper, drive a "stick shift," even spank our butts with the best of them. Many have been the recipients of afghans and other crocheted items lovingly made by this one-armed wonder. She loved the scriptures, she loved the gospel and she wanted nothing more than her family to live and love them too. She understood the purpose of life and wanted all, especially her family, to share in its blessings and rewards. She touched the lives of so many with her kindness, selflessness, and devotion. Her ability to overcome all hardships and challenges that came her way was inspiring to all who knew her. We know her parents are proud of her, we know her husband is proud of her, we know our Heavenly Father is proud of her, and we want her to know that we are very proud of her, too. Our prayer is that we can honor her, living by her example; so, that one day, she will be able to say that she is proud of us as well! She may not have earned the accolades of man in this world, any degrees from colleges or universities, or have been recognized as a great community leader, but when her name is called, she can report with her head held high, knowing she honored the greatest position and calling of all - Mother. We love you and will miss your sweet spirit, but are secure in our knowledge of where you are and whom you are with! Til we meet again, hug them for us. Irma was preceded in death by her eternal companion and partner of 70 years, E. LV (4 months earlier); a daughter, Sally Ann (age 3 at her passing); her parents, John Franklin and Edith Ann; brothers: John Franklin, Jr., and Benjamin Leon; and sisters: Nola Watkins, Edith Winifred Fife, Annie Bertha Welling, and Ione Ulrich Baker. She is survived by her 6 children, 25 grandchildren and 26 1/2 great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, November 30th, at 11 a.m. in the Sharon 1st Ward Chapel, 641 South 400 East, Orem. Friends and family may call from 9:00-10:45 a.m. prior to the services at the chapel. Interment will be in the Brigham City Cemetery. Published in the Daily Herald on 11/28/2004.
