Betty Jo Sanders Allen passed away and was reunited with her husband of 68 years on Wednesday, August 10, 2011.
She was born on October 16, 1925 in Coolidge TX to Dwain and Adele Sanders. Betty spent her young life in Marlin, TX where she graduated from High school and met her husband, Bill. After high school she attended college in Waco TX. Bill and Betty were united in marriage on January 27, 1943.
After the birth of their first child, Mary, in 1950, they moved to Pecos TX where they farmed and then later owned the State Farm Insurance Agency. Betty was legal secretary to Judge J.M. Preston for 27 years. Their son, Bill, and daughter, Kim, were born in Pecos.
Betty was involved in many aspects of the Pecos community. She was a member of the First Baptist Church, Beta Sigma Phi, the Pecos Legal Secretaries Association, and parent volunteer for all of their children's activities. She loved to sew, tole paint, and ceramics. Betty devoted tireless energy and enthusiasm to her family, friends, and community, all of which benefited from her efforts. She believed strongly in doing the right thing rather than the east thing and she passed that lesson on to her children.
