On May 30, 2025, Barry Edward Richardson, 78, passed away. Barry was born on September 13, 1946, in Washington, DC, to Lawrence and Florence Richardson.
Barry proudly served in the United States Army for two years and was honorably discharged in 1968. Following his time in the Army, he worked for many years at Citizens Bank. He then became a corrections officer for the Anne Arundel Jail. He was dedicated to his role and earned the respect of both colleagues and inmates for his fairness and integrity.
In his free time, he enjoyed bowling, hitting the gym, working in retirement for the Bowie Baysox baseball team, and, above all, cherishing moments with his family.
Barry was predeceased by his parents and a great-nephew. He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Claudia and Dan Sansbury of La Plata, MD, three nieces, one nephew, and ten great-nieces and nephews.
