Bertha Schirch Obituary
Bertha Schirch, age 97, passed away on September 17th, 2022. She was born to the late Max and Felicia (nee Heller) Bolman on December 13th, 1924. Bertha loved spending time outdoors in her garden, reading, and with her precious dog Mitzi. She especially enjoyed collecting cookbooks and recipes. Her greatest enjoyment in life was her family, and she especially enjoyed her time as a grandmother. Bertha will be dearly missed by many family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Quentin Schirch; siblings, Edward Bolman, Martha Boenker, Albert Bolman, Louis Bolman and Helen Boenker.
The family would like to express its heartfelt thanks to the staff at Edie's Place at Lakeside Assisted Living and to Miracle City Hospice for their compassion and care.

I remember as a child spending time at Aunt Bertha's and Uncle Quentin's house during the summer. We had fun with Hallie and Liese; but Eric wasn't born yet. I loved being in the country. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Good memories. Nancy (Boenker) Vogel
