Betty C. Zint, age 80 of Petersburg, IN, passed away at 3:52 a.m. on Friday, October 31, 2025 at Deaconess Memorial Hospital in Jasper, Indiana.

Betty was born in Gibson County on May 6, 1945 to William and Tillie (Gries) Spindler. She married the love of her life, Frank D. Zint on October 8, 1966.

Betty enjoyed traveling out west and to the Smokey Mountains. She loved her family, the farm, flowers, and animals. 

Surviving is her husband, Frank D. Zint of Petersburg, three children: Frank Zint Jr., Otwell, Deborah A. Hamm (Jack), Petersburg, and Clifton J.
