NORTH RICHLAND HILLS – Betty L. Leito, 95, passed away Friday, January 23, 2026. Graveside Service: 1 p.m. Monday, February 2, 2026, at Mount Olivet Cemetery. Betty was born September 18, 1930, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Vincent and Ruth Leito. Betty grew up in Fort Worth and graduated from Paschal High School. She worked in the lab at St. Joseph’s Hospital for many years. While Betty never married or had children of her own, she loved dogs and always had a dog companion. One of her special dogs was named Amber. After Betty moved to live with her niece, Elaine, she came to love the cats that lived in Elaine’s home. Over the years, Betty came to love Elaine as the daughter she never had as Elaine provided for all of her needs. Religion was extremely important to Betty. While she was raised a Methodist, in later life she adopted her father’s Catholic religion. She attended church regularly until she became too sick to go. Betty was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Vincent and Ruth Leito; and her sisters, Angeline (Russell) Cain, Mary (Howard) Mayer, and Donna (Bill) Pursley. She is survived by her nieces, Mary Elaine Mayer, and Donna Carol Mayer (David Scott); nephew, Paul Cain; and several other nephews in St. Louis.
