The love that retired Josiah Bartlett Elementary School teacher Elizabeth “Beth” 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.
