He was the husband of Louella “Janie” Nottingham and they
shared 50 blissful years of marriage together. Richard was born on
February 10, 1947, in Tahlequah, OK to Dorothy “Hunter” Nottingham. He
attended and graduated from West High School in Wichita, KS. He then
went on to join the navy in 1965. Upon, his return he married his
sweetheart, “Red”, in 1967 and they had their daughter Cytina. Richard
was employed at Funk Manufacturing in Coffeyville, KS for a time but
went on to be employed as a rural route mail carrier with the United
States Postal Service. After almost 20 years of service, he retired from
there in September 2008.
Throughout the years he & Janie served in several different ministry
capacities: youth pastorates, deacon boards, Sunday school teachers, and
worship teams. He was a member of Happy Hill Church. He was also a
member of the Coffeyville Keystone Lodge #102 Masons. Richard loved to
sing and blessed so many with his beautiful tenor voice and sweet
“teddy-bear like” demeanor. He enjoyed spending time at the lake with
his family, watching his grandkids grow, and we can’t forget watching
Westerns, he loved his Westerns!
