Betty Hedden

Betty J. Hedden, peacefully entered the gates of Heaven on July 11, 2013 at Baptist Hospital in Louisville.
She was born December 7, 1923 in Washington, Indiana. Early in her life she graduated from both Washington High School and Indianapolis Beauty College. After raising her family Betty was a proud retiree of Walgreens Drug Store with Thirty years of service. Walgreens was always her second home and she adored her co-workers and found much joy in greeting her customers.
Betty is survived by her husband, Americus "Joe" Hedden and they were happily married for 69 years. She is also survived by her son, Mark Hedden and her daughter Julie Gathof; grandchildren, Scott Hedden, Kyle Gathof, Brandon Gathof and Mackenzie Gathof; great grandchildren, Amber Maupin, Hunter Maupin, Ethan Hedden and Eli Gathof. She was preceded in death by one granddaughter, Billie Maupin.
Betty was a faithful member of Beechmont United Methodist Church for over fifty years which is now Epworth United Methodist Church in Louisville, Ky. She also looked forward to serving others through her church and found much happiness with her Christian walk with God. She will always be remembered for her compassion, love and humor. There was always a smile and a funny story to share with others.

The family wishes to extend heartfelt gratitude for all of the personal and professional help along this Journey.
