Isabella "Bella" Pina Richardson, 16, passed away unexpectedly on January 10th in a local hospital. She was born in Walnut Creek and was a lifelong resident of Benicia. She was a junior at Justin-Siena High School in Napa. Bella played soccer in the Benicia Youth Soccer League, and was active with the Girl Scouts and danced with Susie Harper Dance Studios as a young girl and teen. She was an amazing friend to many and enjoyed playing with young children, especially her cousins. Her smile, laughter, silly dance moves and funny faces will be missed, but her memory will live on in those who love her. Bella is survived by her parents Christine Richardson of Benicia and Donald Richardson of Hercules; sister Mickey Richardson; grandparents Wesley & Vivienne Richardson of Hercules, Robert & Connie Duggan of Oroville and Sue Parodi of El Sobrante; and her great grandmother Marie Cuadros of Richmond.
