Bert was born July 28, 1946, to the late Chester M. and Dortheanna (Putzy) Herriman. Bert was a graduate of Penn High School, and on February 24, 1968, she married David Rutkowski at St. Bavo's Church in Mishawaka, Indiana.

Bert was a friend. We worked together first at Azars then at the ASCS office for many years. Though we drifted apart, she will always remain a fond memory to me. Comfort and peace to the family.

Roberta was my 3rd sister as i grew up with her spending as much time at our house that Sharon spent at her house. Although I have only seen her once in the past 4o years or so it was at Jeremy Hoods wedding 12 yrs ago that she didnt look like she had changed any in all the years since I had last seen her. That is how I intend to remember with that beautiful smile she always had.
