Betty Louise Gripshover, 95, of Covington, KY, passed into eternal life on November 1, 2025. Born in Morning View, KY, on November 2, 1929, she was the daughter of the late Fred Gripshover and Elizabeth Martin Gripshover.

Betty was a longtime parishioner of St. Benedict Roman Catholic Church in Covington. She enjoyed a life filled with simple pleasures and meaningful moments. She loved traveling with her sister, Rosella, sharing many wonderful adventures together.

Betty retired from Gibson Greeting Cards in 1992 after many years of dedicated service. One of the highlights of her career was being crowned “Gibson Girl” in 1965, an honor that reflected her warmth and charm. She loved spending time outdoors, tending to her garden, and planting flowers—especially her beloved zinnias that brightened her home each summer. Betty also enjoyed sewing and was highly talented at it. Her kindness, creativity, and hardworking spirit will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.

She was greeted in Heaven by her parents and her seven siblings: Mary Gripshover, Fred Gripshover, Rosella Cross, William Gripshover, Rita Hoffman, Eddie Gripshover, and Elmer Gripshover. Betty was the beloved aunt of many nieces and nephews.

Betty will be laid to rest, and the Rite of Committal will be celebrated at Mother of God Cemetery, 3125 Madison Ave, Latonia, KY 41015, on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Guests are asked to arrive at 10:45 a.m. and meet in the cemetery chapel.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, either online or in person at the committal service.
