Richard Harrison England

Richard England, of East Palestine, OH fell asleep in death on Sunday, August 21, 2022, with his wife Marlene, family and friends by his side.  He was born in Ellsworth, OH on September 7, 1932, to Herbert and Ethel England. He was raised on a dairy farm where he learned to love hard work.

In 1954, he married Marlene Tusar (Darlington, PA) and settled in East Palestine where they raised four sons. Richard loved family, friends, traveling, guitar, country music, and making people laugh. If you knew him, you heard of his special fondness for heavy equipment like the dragline he operated for many years.

In 1958, Richard and Marlene began to study the Bible and soon came to love their God, Jehovah. He was a long-time member of the East Palestine Congregation.
