Bertie was active in her local church including Midway Christian Church in Winder, GA where she taught Sunday school, wrote for the church newsletter, taught VBS, and sang in the choir. She was also involved with North Georgia Christian Service Camp. In 2014 she moved to White Mills, KY where she served at the White Mills Christian Church and White Mills Christian Camp. While living in Georgia, Bertie traveled extensively through her husband’s tour bus company and had visited almost every state. Bertie loved nature, especially flowers, and grew many on her porch and in her yard. She loved to read and filled her bookshelves with good books that she freely lent to others. She sent cards and paid visits to many people in the church in order to encourage them. She also loved playing dominoes with her close friends. Always, her life was centered around her relationship with Jesus, attending church, and serving there in whatever ways she could.
