The show ran for eight successful seasons, wrapping up in 1999.
Patricia's performance saw her nominated four times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and twice for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical.
After Home Improvement ended, Richardson continued to work steadily in the industry, taking on a variety of roles in both television and film.
She next starred in the medical drama Strong Medicine as Dr. Andy Campbell.
The talented actress was also nominated for two awards for this performance.
Then she went on to play Republican presidential candidate Arnold Vinick in famous political drama The West Wing.
Patricia recently addressed the rumours that there might be a reboot of Home Improvement in the future.
Her on-screen husband Tim Allen had suggested that there may be a new series in the works, but she shot him down, accusing him of "lying to people".
She did not mince her words, adding: "It was so weird, I would hear on Twitter or whatever that [Allen] was coming out publicly and saying this stuff about how everyone was on board to do a Home Improvement reunion.
"But he never asked me, and he never asked Jonathan [Taylor Thomas, who played middle child Randy].
"I called Jonathan one day, I said, 'Has he asked you about this?'' And he went, 'No,' and I was like why is he going around telling everybody that we're all on board when he hasn't talked to you or me. I think that's weird."
