MRS. ALBERTIE "BERTIE" ELLIOTT FIGG, who died last week at the age of 97, was a very remarkable woman who truly lived life to the fullest. She was the widow of Tom Figg and the proud mother of two sons, two daughters, twelve grandchildren, and seventeen great-grandchildren. We will never forget interviewing Mrs. Figg on her 89th birthday. We will remember her poise, her extraordinary memory, her wealth of knowledge, her keen sense of humor, her deep Christian faith, and her genuine love and dedication to God, her community, and her family.
"Bertie" Figg leaves behind a rich heritage that will be an inspiration to all who knew and loved her.
