Predeceased by her youngest daughter, Betty-Jo and sister Barbara Scarrow. Berta was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She loved walking, gardening, golf, fishing and hunting with her
husband Bob. Even after the age of 80, Berta could beat her kids and grandkids at Ping Pong, but softened the blow by making them her legendary biscuits. We will miss you like crazy, Mum. A Memorial Service will be held on
