It is with sadness we announce our Mom’s passing on January 12, 2023.
She married the love of her life, Quinton, in 1959 who preceded her in death in 2007. Mom will be missed by her proud sons Wesley (Kimberly), Warren (Dale), and grandchildren Olivia, William and Leah. Sisters Florence, Valerie, and Maureen and many cousins, nieces and nephews will also miss her. Mom joins her big sister, Lennie, in Heaven.
Family and dear friends were Mom’s greatest treasures in life and known by all who knew her.
We wish to thank all who visited Mom during these last years and her Thursday morning coffee group for their friendship. Mom’s family physician Dr. Chow, and the staff at Royal Jubilee Hospital deserve our recognition and appreciation for her care and making her comfortable in the final days.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

I am so saddened to hear of your Mother’s passing Wesley and Warren. Our deepest condolences to you both and family. We were close cousins and kept in touch over 60 years. I will always remember Bertha and the good memories we had at our 40th high school reunion and other fond memories. She will be missed.
Fondly, cousin Vivian, Dan, Thoreau and Ibsen.
Bertha’s church family meant a great deal to her. She worked amazingly hard with the ladies circle, especially when preparing crafts for our annual bazaar, but my fondest memory is during the Two Saints Messy Church Spring Break camp when she welcomed all the children and made coffee, tea and muffins for any visiting adults. Bertha will be sadly missed.
To Wesley, Warren and your families,
It saddened us to read of your Mom’s passing.
We both have many fond memories of your family and remember your Mom’s smile so well and her warm and friendly ways.
Both your parents were a huge part of the wonderful neighbourhood we grew up in and we feel fortunate to have you as our neighbours.
