Bert lived each and every day to the fullest. She enjoyed creating unique, thoughtful gifts and passing them along to her children and grandchildren. She loved telling stories and participating in skits at our family reunions. She enjoyed keeping busy with numerous projects such as wine making and fishing with her husband, tending to her vegetable and flower gardens, traveling, creating beautiful quilts filled with love. Above all, her greatest joy was found in time spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who knew her as a pillar of strength, wisdom and laughter. In her most recent years, she had the privilege of earning the trust and love for a stray cat that she named "Jethro" who always brought a smile to her face and peace in her heart.
