Esther M. Richardson was born on July 21, 1954 in Crockett, Texas to the late J.C. Wagner and Maudest Wagner, (birth mother, Leola Brighman).
Esther was a selfless woman who believed in the Lord. She was a member of Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church. When it came to raising her only child, India who we all know as dimp, she instilled God in her life So much. She was like a second mother to all 3 of grand children; Taniva, Monroe and Latoris. She was a hard working woman she worked 32 years on her job where she retired. She worked 12 hour shifts in fiber glass fabrication and would still have a little energy left to love on us all. She loved her old school R & B music, having family and friends over to the house, a good drink as often as she wanted and can still get her business handled. She loved seeing her grandchildren grow up and most of all. She loved the casino god rest her soul. She taught us all morals and values and now we are the ones to carry on her legacy.  Hopefully we make her proud in everything in we do. That is our promise and devotion.
She is survived by her daughter, India Richardson, her grandchildren; Taniva Richardson, Monroe Brooks and Latoris Richardson. Her brothers, Joe Ray Wagner and Michael Brighman. Her sister, Sandra Lee. Great grandchildren; Jatavious Shaw, Jamerion Pringle, Cordeo Flores, Neilah Roth, Cortez Flores, La’Monte Pringle, Ty’asia Cooper, Cadence Brooks, Monroe Brooks and Koa Blue. One great great grandchild, Ja’leigha Shaw. Special Friends, Jody Rasmussen, Lawrence Butler and Mildred Craig.
