Bertha's favorite pastimes were singing, baking, cooking, and crossword puzzles and Scrabble. She baked pies and kuchen in large quantities for her family, neighbors and friends. In her retirement years, Bertha and Alvin volunteered in a variety of ways throughout the Scotland community, including serving Meals on Wheels to others. Bertha and Alvin moved to Majestic Bluffs in Yankton, SD, in December of 2002. Bertha enjoyed making new friends and taking part in all the activities throughout the last eight years at Majestic Bluffs where she was always grateful for the loving care that she received. She said goodbye to her husband of over 70 years in April of 2004. Bertha died peacefully with her family around her on Friday, October 22nd, 2010 at Avera Sister James Care Center at the young age of 97 years. She was still singing her favorite hymns up until the last day of her life on earth and told us that she was looking forward to joining the alto section of the celestial choir of angels.
