Patricia A. Athearn, 69

Patricia A. “Tisha” Athearn, 69, of Bridgton, passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016, after a long battle with cancer.

She was born on Aug. 6, 1947, in Bridgton, the daughter of Melvin and Helen Richardson.

Her family was the most important thing to her. She was always there for them and loved all of the family gatherings that were held. Going to the racetrack to watch her son, Mark, and grandson, Matthew, race always made her proud. Her sons, grandchildren and goddaughter were her pride and joy.

Tisha was predeceased by her parents; a brother, Dennis Richardson; and a sister, Anita Richardson.

She leaves her husband, Dennis of Bridgton; two sons, Mark of Cumberland and Todd of Poland; three grandchildren; a brother, David Richardson of Bridgton; three sisters, Betty Skoglund and Susan Davis of Kalispell, Mont., and Brenda Richardson of Bridgton; along with several nieces and nephews.

She will be missed by all who knew her, and will live in our hearts forever.

Services will be held at a later date.
