Quilting was her passion and her love for so many years. Many of her quilts would sell for thousands of dollars each. Betty Sandusky always was the most eloquently dressed person in the room. She had the self-proclaimed title as being the oldest resident in Bromide, OK. Betty and her husband Billy Joe had the oldest couple title and if you knew my uncle you know he ate it up with joy and laughter. With title in hand, they could be found riding in the Founder’s Day parade each year.
