Bertha Louise Carter

Bertha is a treasured part of our large Payne family. She helped keep the homefires humming, organizing, repairing, cleaning--generally solving problems in her creative way. She was fearless at tackling projects that needed doing, and was a true Godsend to our mother who needed more help than children were capable of giving. Once or twice a week she would come to work her magic. She taught by example to work hard and stay focused to finish each task. Despite hardships in her life, she did not dwell on the past, and she treated others with kindness and a servant's heart. I am grateful for her example of making each day better, always looking for ways to be helpful. She showed me the value of looking forward and moving past my mistakes in life. Thank you Della, Nicci and Debra for sharing your sweet mom with us! Our mother, Jaynann, always said that Bertha was her sister she never had growing up. Now they are reunited in heaven and sharing association with loved ones gone before. Prayers for your comfort, knowing Bertha was an angel on earth and beloved by the Dean and Jaynann Payne family.

Della and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We know she was an a very sweet lady and a joy to be around. She El be missed. Our love and support go out to you and your family.

Been years since I saw this lovely lady. She was my grandmas sister-in-law . I use to visit when they lived in Provo. She will be dearly missed. Alfreda Hurlich

I have a few fond memories of Grandma. Spending time out in Myton, watching her and everyone can food, taking us kids on a drive around the property, coming to watch me get baptized, her coming with presents for birthdays and holidays and the yummy Christmas candy she made. Oh how we would fight over grandma's candy. How she would send us kids quarters in the mail to add to our coin books she gave us. I may not have spent much time with her after my dad died and I got older but she was always my grandma. I always thought of her.

Countless are the memories I have with this great lady. What an absolute gift she was in my life. I can never begin to tell you the many things she taught me. Nothing ever brought this lady down. I will treasure the memories and thoughts of her will always bring a smile to my heart!
