Alba Richburg

March 8, 1934 — December 11, 2018

Alba Carneiro (Mamae) Richburg was born on March 8, 1934 in Recife Brazil to Albertino and Guiomar Desouza Leao. Her light lifted to Heaven on December 11, 2018 and she now is singing in Heavens choir and resting in the Lords hands.

She met the love of her life in Recife Brazil while he was on assignment for the United States Air Force they married soon after on July 15 and 16 1955. They were married for 63 years and shared many travels, adventures and loving times together. She was a true woman of service and spent many years knitting blankets and booties and cooking for those at the senior center.

Alba was a true joy to anyone who met her. She would never leave the house without some lipstick and some red door perfume. Her generosity was boundless and if you liked the shirt she was wearing she would give it to you off her back! She loved to tell jokes and see the ones she loved laugh, she was always dancing and singing to the music from her country. She was proud of her children and grandchildren and showed them off whenever she got the chance! She showed them how to have fun and how to laugh always! She will be dearly missed and the joy she brought us all will forever be remembered and carried on.

Alba is survived by her loving husband, Harry B Richburg, her daughters Adele Eva Tannehill and Her husband Tom Tannehill, Catary Palmieri and her husband Mitch Palmieri, Guiomar Richburg Kittrell, and her son Sergio Leao, her 8 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren; and siblings Darcy and Ernesto.
