      Edith Hazel Richey, the daughter of Albert and Laura (Chamberlain) Galarneau, was born on May 10, 1916, in Faribault, Minn. She grew up and received her education in the Litchfield area. On Sept. 10, 1935, she was united in marriage to Harland Richey. They engaged in farming in the Litchfield and Watkins area for a few years before moving into Litchfield. In the mid 1960s they moved to the Brainerd area. After Harland's health failed they moved to Winona in 2001. Edith was a member of the St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Litchfield. She enjoyed fishing, camping and dancing with Harland. She also enjoyed painting and music. She was very handy with her needle work and would often crochet elaborate designs without a pattern.
