WHITEFIELD - True love is an act of the will-a conscious decision to do what is best for the other person instead of ourselves. - Billy Graham
Betsy A. Ladd, 68, passed away on Monday, December 21, 2015 at the Littleton Hospital after an unexpected sudden illness. She was born on January 4, 1947 in Boston to Sumner H. Peck and Whitefield native Roxana Harris Peck. Betsy returned to Whitefield in 1974 to join the five generations of Harris family members residing for over 175 years on Kimball Hill.
A devout Christian, Betsy lived selflessly in servitude of God, her family and all she met. Betsy truly embodied what it means to put others interests ahead of our own. Betsy showed up to work at Garnett Hill in Franconia, early every day for 25 years, happy to help customers in any way possible. She regularly volunteered by cooking meals for the church dinner or fundraiser. Betsy served as a founding board member of the Pathways Pregnancy Care Center in Littleton, a Christian based organization helping those in need.
She cherished her family and filled their hearts. Betsy is survived by her husband Thomas Ladd of Whitefield; two daughters, Michelle Wallace Whittier of Essex Junction, VT and Kristin Wallace Carpenter & husband Kevan of Durham, NH; and four grandchildren, Sierra Carpenter (16), Max Carpenter (14), Jacklyn Whitter (8) and Katelyn Whittier (6); her sister Jean Harris L'Esperance and brother-in-law Norman L'Esperance of Stoneham MA and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Family and friends are invited to attend a funeral on Saturday, December 26 at 11 AM at the Whitefield Community Baptist Church, 27 Jefferson Road with Pastor Rev. Greg Vigne. There will be a reception immediately following the ceremony. Burial with graveside service will be Monday, December 28 at 11am in the Franklin Cemetery in Franklin, NH.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pathways Pregnancy Care Center at 70 Redington Street, #2, Littleton, NH 03561 or
