2017 obituary. Elizabeth Brooks Bartlett, 86. NEW GLOUCESTER, and Odessa, Fla. - It is with regret and sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth "Betty" Bartlett, on Sept. 22, 2017, in Fredericksburg, Va., while surrounded by loved ones. Born on Sept. 14, 1931, she grew up in Portland and became active in the southern Maine equestrian scene. While attending Oak Grove School in Vassalboro, and riding at the Bartlett School of Equitation in Naples, she met her husband, Dr. William S. Bartlett, DVM. Their mutual love of horses and professional affiliations took them to many places. These included pre-revolutionary Cuba, Florida, Detroit and New England. They ultimately called New Gloucester home and raised four children and a menagerie of animals on their farm on Bald Hill Road. She was devoted to her family, an avid gardener, served on the school board of SAD 15 Gray-New Gloucester, and was involved in other local civic endeavors. In later years, she and her husband retired to their winter home in Odessa, Fla., where she lived until recently. Close to the racetrack where he had worked for many years, cats, dogs, and wild turkeys were always on hand in the gardens she maintained there. She is survived by her four children; as well as grandchildren. A graveside service will be held at Maple Grove Cemetery, 81 Marshall St., Mechanic Falls, at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, followed by a reception at Cindy's Dockside, 723 Maine St., Poland Spring, from noon-4 p.m. All are welcome to attend either or both events.
