Research Notes
Bertha Sue Cosby, age 102, of Aubrey, TX passed away April 23, 2021. She was born January 2, 1919 to Alf and Annie (Cramer) Wright in Lincoln, AR. Bertha married Glynn Cosby on September 3, 1938 in Fayetteville, AR. They were married 58 years before he preceded her in death.
Bertha could solve a Rubix cube in under 2 minutes and enjoyed playing dominoes, cards, and solving Suduko. She was spry, quick witted, and very competitive. She never lost a game of checkers. Bertha would cook and deliver food to the “old folks” at the Senior Center in Aubrey until the pandemic prevented her from doing so.
She is survived by her sons, Gerald Cosby of Aubrey, TX and Ronald Cosby and wife Linda of Bossier City, LA; three grandchildren, Neil Cosby and wife Alicia of Frisco, TX, Stacy Fuller and husband Randal of Aubrey, TX, and Cody Cosby of The Woodlands, TX; and six great grandchildren, Kade, Keeli, and Kash Fuller and Cadence, Tyler, and Kara Cosby.
Bertha is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Glynn; son, Alfred Cosby; daughter-in-law, Coral Sue Cosby; brothers, Graham, William, and Leland Wright; and step-granddaughter, Jamie Dempsey.
