Bertha was born on June 15, 1934 in Eden, Texas to the late Tomas Rodriguez and Lasara Morales. She lived her childhood and school years in the Eden area until 1963 when Lubbock, Texas became her home after being widowed from her husband, Fermin Pesina. She remarried in 1967 to Thomas Wells. She retired after spending over 20 years working at the Lubbock County Court-house.

She is also survived by three brothers: Tom Rodriguez of Lubbock, Texas, Pablo Martinez and Eddie Rodgers both of Eden, Texas; three children: Michael Pesina and Bonnie Quintana of Lubbock, and Thomas Edward Wells of Austin, Texas. She was also most proud and loving of her three grandchildren: Nickolas Quintana of Dallas, and Laura Fanning and Marisa Pesina of Lubbock; and one great-grandchild, Jackson Scott Fanning.
