Roberta Strickler-Martin

Born in South Philadelphia and raised in Reading, Bert has been a resident of Levittown since 1965.

Since the age of five, Bert always wanted to be a nurse and was proud to have accomplished that goal by receiving her degree at the age of forty. She was first employed at Lower Bucks Hospital as an LPN on the Medical-Surgical floors while continuing her education. After achieving her RN she was able to reach her goal as Charge Nurse of the NIC-U.

Bert enjoyed going on cruises, visiting the beach, cooking and attending shows at the Bristol Riverside Theater. Mostly, she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.

Daughter of the late Robert and Violet McDowell, Bert was the loving mother of Richard A. Strickler (Mary F.), James T. Strickler (Mary) and Tim Strickler (Amy) and the devoted grandmother of Nick (Megan), Jake and Richard Strickler and Carson Elmer.

Bert was preceded in death by her siblings, Jim, Louise and Ella and is survived by one sister, Freda Dawson as well as several nieces and nephews.
