Betty Spencer

BENTON – The loved ones of Betty Spencer are greatly saddened to announce her passing on May 18, 2023 following a brief hospital stay.

She was born to Louise and Stephen Beauregard on July 12, 1945. Being raised on a farm, she was always fond of animals and never afraid of hard work. She attended Lawrence High School, where she was an active student body member. Most who knew Betty remember her as the bus driver. She drove bus for MSAD #49 for over 35 years, only retiring after seeing her eldest grandchildren graduate.

In her free time, Betty loved doing crossword puzzles, watching Jeopardy, and spending time with her loved ones. She loved to travel, whether to the Caribbean on a cruise or just to the coast of Maine with her family. Anyone who knew Betty knew she was an incredibly caring and loving person who lived every asset of her life to the fullest. It was impossible to go anywhere with Betty and have no one recognize her, and she would always remember a fun anecdote about them, too.

Betty was predeceased by her parents, Louise and Stephen Beauregard; and her brother, Stephen Beauregard, Jr.

She is survived by her sister, Marie Philbrook of Clinton, her brothers Thomas Beauregard of Foil, Mo. and Paul Beauregard of Skowhegan; her three daughters, Bobbi Bard of Richmond, Amanda Spencer of Benton, Rachel Sales of Winslow, her son, Stephen Bard of Benton; her eight grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Betty on Sunday, May 28 at Thomas College from 1 to 3 p.m. Please join us in the Summit Room in the Spann Student Commons as we remember Betty.
