Betty Davis

Betty Lee (Brooks) Davis, 92, of Concord passed away peacefully at home on Dec. 23, 2025.

Born Feb. 24, 1933, she grew up in Akron, Ohio, with her siblings, Virginia, Don, John, Cecil, Anna Belle and Donna. Betty met the love of her life, Richard Alan Davis of Akron, and they moved to follow Richard’s career in California, New Jersey and Florida before settling in Hopkinton. There they resided for over 44 years, raising their five children. Betty was married to Richard for 51 years before he passed away in 2003.

Betty worked at Goodrich Tire in Akron and, after raising her five children, at Bose for almost 20 years. She enjoyed years of quilting at the Hopkinton Senior Center and visits from grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She moved in 2014 to Concord, where she enjoyed making friends, playing bingo at the Concord Council on Aging and swimming at the Beede Pool.

Betty leaves behind her son, Richard Alan Davis Jr. and wife Dagmar of Douglas, and daughters Judah Harris of Keene, New Hampshire, Catherine Davis of Concord, Sandra Brault and husband Allan of Pelham, New Hampshire, and Pennie Driscoll of Newburyport. She leaves 13 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, a sister, Donna Westfall of West Virginia, a niece, Sharon Burdzel of Northbridge, and many extended nieces and nephews in Ohio.

A private graveside service will be held at Evergreen Cemetery in Hopkinton in the spring.

Arrangements are entrusted to Dee Funeral Home & Cremation Service of Concord.
