Berta Jo Farrier Steinmetz, 95, of Poteau, Oklahoma passed peacefully November 13, 2021. She was born Christmas Day in 1925, in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, to Bert Windsor and Josephine Jackson Windsor. Following the death of her first husband, Bill Ferrier, Berta went back to school and earned her nursing degree. As fulfilling as nursing was, it didn’t come close to the joy she felt being a mother and grandmother. Berta was of the Christian faith.
Berta’s family would like to acknowledge and give praise to Dr. Henry and staff, Hope’s Creek Retirement Living and Heart of Hospice for the care provided to their mother and grandmother.
Berta is survived by two daughters, Laura and Dan Beam of Poteau, Oklahoma and Sandra and Bob Ely of Venice Florida; sister Shirley Talley of Edmond, Oklahoma; six grandchildren, Andrew, Brant and Lauren Gomez and Sara, Kari and Daniel Beam, as well as three great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, second husband Raymond “R.C” Steinmetz, and two sisters Freda Manchaca and Clara Goodman.
The family will greet friends from 4:00pm to 6:00pm Monday, November 22, 2021 at Edwards Funeral Home. Private services will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home.
