From Her Children:

She was the matriarch of our family.  And so difficult to sum up what she meant to us.  She was who we went to for advice, to confide in, to laugh with.  She always had a guiding hand in our life, from how we parented our own children to our grandchildren.  Mom’s ability to show love, compassion and forgiveness was unparalleled.  She was a fierce protector of us as well as her grandchildren.  Her imprint is forever etched with us.  Mom will be forever missed, forever loved, forever remembered.  We love you Mom, Always.

Bertha was loved by all who knew her and her affection for her friends was mutual.  Those friends had a spark of light in their life that went out with her passing.

The luckiest day of my life, speaking as her husband was Friday December 13^th, 1968 when I asked her to marry me and she said yes.  Bertha was a small town girl form Erieau who married a small town boy from Byron, who at the time was living and working in Toronto.  This was the start of our journey that lasted for over 55 years, covered jobs and careers, raising a family, travel to various part of the world, most of Canada and several states in the U.S.  The memories of the travel were always fond but her most favorite spot was Bermuda.

Visitation for Bertha will take place at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Saturday January 11, 2025 from 10:00 – 1:00.  A funeral service will be held at 1:00 and will be followed by a reception at St. Paul’s Church in Erieau.

For those wishing to remember Bertha, donations can be made to St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Erieau, the Erieau Fireman’s Association or the Chatham-Kent Hospice.
