Bertha and her husband, Joseph R. Allison, who had been the former mayor of the borough of Howard and past District Governor of the Pennsylvania Lions Clubs of District 14-G, had been married 56 years before he passed away on March 9, 1997.
Bertha was respected by all of her peers. She had taught school for 44 years, 41 of which were in the Howard Elementary School. She had also taught in Marion and Spring Township schools.
