Bertha was a devoted wife and mother to her family. She supported Aubrey during his many years of volunteering with the Army Cadet League of Canada and the Signal Hill Tattoo. She returned to work after her girls grew older and worked with the Department of Health until her retirement in 1993.
We have fond memories of spending time camping as children with Mom and Dad all over Atlantic Canada, Mom loved to call Newfoundland home, she loved music, enjoyed spending time with family and visiting her grandchildren.
We would like to thank the staff of Kenny’s Pond Retirement Residence for their loving and compassionate care of Mom over the past five years.
