Bertha and her husband came to New Mexico in 1952, living in the Albuquerque area most of that time. She was a member of Sandia Baptist Church. Bertha enjoyed knitting, crocheting, quilting and ceramics, many of which won top prizes in county fairs. Horseback riding, square dancing, playing Uno and Canasta were also regular activities. Bertha was always loving toward her husband, son, family and others, willing to go the extra mile to help anyone. She had made the most important decision a person could ever make in their life, which is to believe in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Therefore, she is now at home with the Lord in a place of no more death, no more sorrow, no more tears, no more pain; the old things have passed away.
