The love that retired Josiah Bartlett Elementary School teacher Elizabeth âBethâ Elaine Richards had for her family, friends, community and students, did not come to an end with her death. Beth passed away on April 5, 2021, after a courageous battle with a traumatic brain injury and ultimately succumbing to coronavirus, despite being fully vaccinated.
Beth is survived by her husband Dale M. Richards; three children, Lindsay S. Richards, Ian W. Richards and Carrie A. Richards-Westphalen; and her husband Peter D. Dotson-Westphalen; as well as her brother David Dick and many other loved cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and students.
She was preceded in death earlier this year by her brother Steven Dick.
