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.
