Eunice I. Richley 1927-2026

Mrs. Richley was born in Weathersfield Township, a daughter of the late Harry and Rachel Richards Bequeth.

She grew up on the family farm in McDonald. While in high school, she played the drums in the marching band. She worked as a secretary for Syro Steel Corp. in Girard. She retired once but was then asked to come back to work and continued until her second retirement at the age of 87.

Her husband of over 65 years, Philip, passed away in 2015. She moved to Fernandina Beach in 2016 to be near her family.

She will be remembered as a simple and easygoing lady and was liked by all who knew her. She had a strong Christian faith and enjoyed spending time with her family, cooking and her dogs, who were her constant companions for years. She also thoroughly enjoyed the simple pleasure of sitting on her front porch.

In addition to her parents and her husband, she was predeceased by a sister, Charlotte Daniels, and five brothers, Russell, Ellis, Homer, Garfield and Adam Bequeth.

She leaves behind her daughter, Roselyn Myers and her husband, Robert, of Fernandina Beach; her grandchildren, Briana Kenavey and her husband, Jeffrey, of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Brendan Myers and his wife, Chelsea, of Fernandina Beach; as well as three great-grandchildren, Izabella, Amelia and Walker.

There are no immediate plans for a service. The family will gather later in the spring to remember her life and she will be laid to rest with her husband in Youngstown.
