Janice Bertsch

There are too many wonderful memories to pick one. Janice was so helpful to me when my mom Bonnie McInnis passed and then my dad Neal. Our family´s spent so much time together while it´s sad to know she is gone I´m so happy to know the four of them are together. My dad Neal was an umpire and one of his favorite memories was when he umpired Marty´s baseball game. H called Marty out at home plate and the coach saw it wrong. He asked Marty if he was out; Marty said something like, "coach,...

JJ was a classic, I remember her loading me up with 5 hot dogs, licorice, cokes, popcorn and more during Marty´s 21-inning game! Never been so sick. She will be missed but what a great life she lived.

From the early memories of wild holiday gatherings to bringing over a pizza and watching sports at your place after college, we always had a good time. You were always a step ahead of everyone (hiding all the silverware in the house so we couldn't play spoons) and had such unique and funny ideas (wearing a sailor hat to our wedding). You and Arly were wonderful grandparents left a great legacy with your kids, grandkids & great-grandkids. My kids will continue to play with the toys you gave...

Looking back, never to be forgotten, when someone you love becomes a memory, your memory becomes a treasure. Janis Jo Bertsch. She was a pioneer in my eyes, ready for adventure, a traveler, an explorer, from a travel trailer to a business known as A-Line Trailer Parts, making the most of every opportunity, wisdom from above, always looking for the best in each person, yet untethered in speaking her mind, a person to be admired leaving behind a legacy in her children As it is written,...

Grammy was an absolute one-of-a-kind. Some of my favorite childhood memories are cousin sleepovers at Gramma Jo and Grampa Arly's house. She would give us the signal: "Goodnight, don't like the bed bugs bite..." and that was the all-clear for us to crawl into their room and push Arly out of his bed. Once in a while he would be hiding out of his bed and jump out and scare us all to death! I still giggle thinking of all the mischief we got into while staying over at Grammy's house. My...

Janice Jo was a good aunt. When I was about 8 or 9, she took me -just me- out for ice cream when no one was looking. Ten stars!

I think of so many experiences with Grammy over the years and I smile at how many `first time experiences´ I had with her and our beloved Arlo. I remember at 10 years old my first cup of black coffee, which I liked and shortly there after had my second(probably paired with some delicious orange cake or a biscuit that Arly made). I remember being sick at their house one time and Grammy dissolved some AlkaSeltzer in a glass of water, what was this witchcraft, it made me feel so much better. I...

Jan was a good friend of my mom. She always called it how she saw it and wasn't reluctant to share her opinion. It was always welcome. She and my mom found a trailer park in the area that was in the process of becoming a business property. They found it to be full of abandon trailers and decided to go exploring. Apparently they weren't welcome and were told to leave immediately for trespassing. Both were always up for an adventure.

Dear family Reaching the remarkable milestone of 91 years is a testament to a life rich with experiences, wisdom, and love. Though words cannot fully ease the sorrow of losing such a treasured person, may you find comfort in the legacy of memories they have left beyond. Palms 112:6 ; "The righteous will be remembered forever" May God's love provide you peace, and may you find solace in the countless beautiful moments and stories that will continue to live on in your hearts forever....
