Jane Crump Richardson, a lifelong resident of Montgomery, died at home peacefully Sunday, August 4, following a lengthy illness. She was preceded in death by her parents, James Noble and Mary Elizabeth Bashinsky Crump.

Jane was a 1957 graduate of Sidney Lanier High School and later attended the University of Alabama where she was a member of Alpha Gamma Delta social sorority. An avid and skilled tennis player and an accomplished Gold Life Master in Bridge, Jane loved the competition and was a worthy opponent in all games that she played. Jane adored her family and was known to keep a trusty and beloved dog by her side.

The Reverend Jay Wolf will conduct a memorial service in celebration of her life at 12:00, Wednesday, August 7th in the Stakely Sanctuary at First Baptist Church, 305 S. Perry Street. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
