Mary Alberta Ross, better known to us as Berta, passed away on Sunday, August 31, 2008. She is survived by her sons Chuck and Roger and by her daughter, our very own Randa. She had lots of grandchildren, and even more great grandchildren, all of whom will miss sorely “Mama Ross”. Many of you will remember meeting Berta. She always had her nails and toes polished, her jewelry matched, her shoes were always precious and, of course, coordinated with whatever darling outfit she had chosen for that day. Remember, she was present at the last Austin Cunningham concert and was more lively than folks half her age. On that occasion, she only had her big toenail painted…because that was the only one that showed! She was a kind and generous lady (lady is the only word that describes Berta) who opened her home to me personally at a time when I was grief stricken and needed some tender loving care. I salute you, Berta, for the lady you always were and for the wonderful memories you left behind.
Bye Berta.
Please remember Berta’s family in the days ahead.
Love, Charlene
