bought a farm north of Woodward, where they built a new home.
Betty was employed as a bookkeeper for the Woodward State
Hospital for several years. The couple retired from farming in

sons. Betty and Burton moved to Sapulpa,
OK in 1997, where they made their home until moving to Madrid,
in 2003.

cheerful, happy person who enjoyed crafts and sewing but most of
all will be remembered as a terrific homemaker and mother.

Robertson of The Villages, FL, and Michael and Betty Jane
Robertson of Simi Valley, CA; and several nieces and nephews.
