Dorothy "Pat" Patricia Richard

Dorothy "Pat" Richard, 91, spread her angel wings and ascended to be with our Lord, Monday, February 19, 2018.

She is remembered with profound love and gratitude by her two children and their spouses, Stan and Priscilla Leonard, and Becky (Leonard) and Charles Adams. Pat was a stepmother to Ann Keefe and Carol Jewel. She had 9 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, and 1 great, great, grandchild.

With her passing, Pat joins the love of her life Ralph Richard, her sister Beryl McCoubry, her half-brother Robert M. Allsopp Jr, her parents Robert M. Allsopp and Edith Pearson Allsopp. Sadly, two of her great grandchildren passed away shortly after their birth.

Pat enjoyed many years with Ralph in Bonita Springs, Florida and Barrington, NH. She loved to swim, so living on a lake in Barrington, and near the ocean in Bonita Springs brightened her days.

Pat worked for the Naval Department in the 1940's, spent time being a mother, worked in a grocery store, a bank, and finally spent her nights taking care of an elderly woman. She would be the first person to help out anyone in need.

She enjoyed spending time with her family, being with friends, being outside, cooking, playing Bingo, doing arts and crafts, trivia, watching The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy.

Burial will take place in July 2018, in Exeter, NH.
