Betty Carol Gosser, a beloved member of the Glasgow community, passed away peacefully on October 12, 2025, at the Shanti Niketan Hospice Home in Glasgow, Kentucky. Born on April 27, 1941, in Etoile, she lived a life filled with love, warmth, and compassion, leaving a lasting impact on all those fortunate enough to know her.
Betty dedicated a significant part of her life to her career, having retired from Eaton Axle, where she was respected and valued by her colleagues. In addition to her professional accomplishments, she was a devoted member of Caney Fork Baptist Church, finding strength and joy in her faith and her relationships within the church community.
Known for her vibrant personality, Betty had a remarkable ability to light up any room she entered. Described as a loving person, she was always willing to lend a helping hand to others, making her a cherished friend and neighbor. Her passions included nurturing her beautiful flowers, particularly her proud collection of roses, and enjoying peaceful moments sitting on the porch watching hummingbirds. Most of all, Betty adored spending time with her family, of whom she was immensely proud, especially her grandchildren.
She is survived by her son, Daniel Gosser of Bowling Green, Kentucky; her daughter, Vicki Wallace (Tony) of Glasgow, Kentucky; her grandchildren, Britton Wallace (Allison) of Glasgow, Matthew Wallace (Mary Beth) of Henderson, Tennessee, and Dannica Gosser of Glasgow, and Betty Estes of Tompkinsville; and her great grandchildren, Hudson Wallace, Lucy Wallace, and Reed Wallace. Betty's legacy will also live on through several nieces and nephews who held her dear.
Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Isaac Gosser; her parents, Mitchell McGuire and Evelyn Houchens McGuire; and her sister, Brenda Anderson. Each of these individuals holds a special place in her heart, and her memory of them will continue to inspire her loved ones.
