Dorothy E. Richards, 89, of Altamonte Springs, departed this life on Friday, February 11, 2022 in Perry, GA. Dorothy was born in Manchester, Jamaica, W.I. on October 31, 1932 to Esther and Frank Graham.
In pursuit of the American dream, she migrated to the United States of America, eventually settling down in Central Florida.

She was the founder of Health by Design, Inc., a community based health and screening service that provided resources on healthy living.
Dorothy was a former member of Winter Garden SDA Church, where she served faithfully for several years, including as one of the Personal Ministries Leader. She would work on mission projects and in what ever capacity was needed to serve God and people until her call to rest. Dorothy was a loving and devoted mother, sister, grandmother and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She leaves to cherish and celebrate her legacy: sons, Andrew Richards, Christopher (Vanda) Richards; brother, Lloyd (Gerzel) Graham; sisters, Vinnette Leslie, Hazel Henry, Curdell Bennett; 3 grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and many friends.

Auntie Dor was there for me when I needed her most. As a single parent of 2 she made sure she gave me nutritional advice for them and also helped me to be enrolled in the WICK program. Her smile was infectious and she loved everyone unconditionally. .She will be greatly missed by everyone .Prayers for the Richard’s and Graham family.💔🙏🏿🤗
Sorry for the loss of your loved one. Look only to Jesus.
