Bertie was a devoted stay at home mom whose greatest joy was being deeply involved in the lives of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. More than just present, she was an active participant – giving her time, love and support to every generation. A lifelong Toronto Maple Leafs fan, there was no one more passionate about her team. She also found happiness in camping adventures and cherished her vast collection of Ashton-Drake dolls.
