May 2, 1981 – March 25, 2026

Keisha (Richardson) Haughton, age 44, passed away unexpectedly on March 25, 2026.
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Keisha moved to Colorado at the age of five, where she was raised and built a life rooted in family and community. She graduated from GWS High School and went on to establish a meaningful career in property management across Colorado. Keisha also contributed to her family’s business, Open Gate Assisted Living, before bringing together her passion for both care and management in her work at Manor 1 & 2 in GWS, where she found true fulfillment.
Keisha had a vibrant spirit and a joyful presence. She loved to laugh and was happiest when traveling and spending time with her family, creating memories that will be cherished forever.
She was preceded in death by her father, Jerry Richardson; her grandparents; and her aunt, Janice Majors.
She is lovingly remembered by her daughters, Anija Randall and Aneisha Haughton; her mother, Chana Austin; her sister, Nikita Daniely; her brother, Jerome Richardson; and a large, devoted extended family including nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. She also leaves behind her beloved companion dog, Mighty Champ.
A celebration of Keisha’s life will be held with family and friends this summer.
