Honoring Elizabeth's Wish: Help Us Cremate Her

Donation protected
Unexpectedly, on June 11th, 2025, my mother, Elizabeth Holly Richau, passed away in her sleep from a pulmonary embolism. She was found by Madalyn, her daughter (me), and her partner, Kim, in the early morning at 2:30 am; she had passed by the time paramedics arrived. She has left behind 2 children, Madalyn and Evan. She was only 41 years old. she was the best mother and the most beautiful silly woman I ever knew. All I can do is miss and pray for her.
I am asking for help to be able to give her the ceremony she deserves. Her wishes were to be cremated because she never wanted to be buried with all those icky bugs. This GoFundMe will help with the cost of her funeral and ashes so we can bring her home to her children safely.
