Bethany Ann Bayles Richardson, 62, of Columbus, died Saturday, June 17, 2023, with her family by her side. Beth was born August 15, 1960, in Franklin, Indiana to the late Julius Franklin Bayles and Theresa Smith Bayles.
Bethany was united in marriage to Brian Richardson on June 3, 2000. She was a loving, servant-minded, God-loving wife, mother, grams, and friend. Bethany and Brian were members of The Ridge Church where she volunteered a lot of her time coordinating weddings, baptisms, and was also a host for one of the church’s life groups. Bethany also cherished her time as a caretaker at Just Friends Adult Day Services. She loved spending time with her family and friends and also enjoyed crafting, cracking jokes, game nights, and “glamping” at one of the many state parks that she and Brian have visited throughout their life together.
Bethany is survived by her husband Brian of Columbus; her sons, Arec (Leah) Burton, Curtis (Lindsay) Burton, and Brandon (Kelly) Richardson; her grandchildren; her brother, Frank (Sandy) Bayles; her sister, Stephany (Brian) Dahl, and host of other close family and friends.
