Bertha was a loving mother and grandmother. She will be remembered for her sweet laugh, humor, great conversation (especially on the telephone!), the fun times when she babysat for her grandchildren, and for hosting the most wonderful family dinners on holidays. She will be dearly missed by her children, Camille Duffy, Mary Beth Oujezdsky (and son-in-law, Pat), David White, Tom White (and daughter-in-law, Linda), and Donald White, her 6 grandchildren and her 10 great grandchildren.
