Joely Ann Richardson

Grand Isle – Joely Ann Richardson, née Sausville, passed away at home unexpectedly after a short illness on Sept. 3, 2026. She was 56.

Born in Kansas on Dec. 2, 1969, Joely will be remembered with deep love by those who knew her and by the family who surrounded her throughout her life. Her passing leaves a sorrow that is keenly felt, but her memory remains a lasting and cherished part of all who loved her.

Joely is survived by her husband, Dan, and by her sons, Kyle Sausville, Chad Richardson and his wife Kaela, and Devin Richardson. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Kileigh, Ryder, and Grayson, who brought joy to her family circle.

She is also survived by her mother, Rosemary Rabideau, and Rosemary’s husband, Roger; her father, Wayne Sausville; her sister, Nikki Lampman and her husband, Travis; her brother, Billy Sausville; and her sister, Ricki Finn and her husband, Moe. Joely’s love extended across generations, and she will also be remembered fondly by her nieces and nephew, Brianna, Wyatt, and Callie.

She was preceded in death by her stepmother, Will Sausville and her mother- and father-in-law, Theodore and Roberta Richardson, and her maternal grandparents, Madge and Carl Coro.

As those who loved Joely hold close the memory of her life, they also hold close the bond of family she leaves behind. May her memory bring comfort, and may the love she shared continue to live on in the hearts of her husband, children, grandchildren, and all who knew her.
