Life Reflections

Mary Rebecca (Jenkins) Richardson, affectionally known as "Muffin", was born October 10, 1972 in Silver Springs, Maryland. She was born to Helen King Eadie and the late Claude L. Jenkins. She was reared in the home by Thomas Oneal Eadie, who preceded her in death.

Mary found the Lord at an early age growing in faith and in God's favor in Day Dawn Baptist Church, Pineville, SC, where she was a member of the Youth Choir.  She was educated in Berkeley County Schools where she graduated from St. Stephen High, St. Stephen, SC in 1990. She furthered her education attending the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. After graduation, Mary worked for Bank of America for many years until changing her career path and working and later retiring from AT&T. She returned home and resided in Summerville, SC and was blessed with her pride and joy in the form of her son, Christian Alexander Richardson in 2009.

Muffin's faith never wavered even in her illness. She knew and stayed strong in the Lord and his favor was evident in the way he moved in her life. On her toughest days she remained optimistic and steadfast and always found a way to uplift and encourage others. There was no mountain she would not move for Christian and her loved ones. Her family meant everything to her. Muffin loved to shop, eat, and talk on the phone. Time of day meant nothing to her, if she felt like calling you she did. Her presence in the lives of all who knew and loved her was and will remain  everlasting.

Mary was a member of St. John Chapter 213 Order of the Eastern Star, where she served with dedication as the chapter's secretary. She was also a member of St. Stephen Auxiliary Post 7723.

Eadie of St. Stephen, SC; her beloved siblings, Ramona King-Singleton of St. Stephen, SC, Lisa C. Jenkins of Bowie, MD, Claude L. Jenkins II (Varnya) of Triangle, VA, and Velma E.
