Bertha always had a smile whenever you greeted her and loved telling stories of the “olden days”. Bertha enjoyed carding and spinning Island wool and was always there to lend a helping hand when needed. She worked as a part time cleaner for St. Mary’s School until her retirement aged 65, alongside her daughter Minnie. She enjoyed going to the Potato Patches and enjoyed sheep shearing day most of all. Bertha attended church regularly until she fell ill last year. She will be missed dearly by her family and friends but will always be remembered for her kind heart and cheerful nature. |
