After Bertha finished school, she trained and secured a career as a stenographer, clerk and secretary. After her retirement from Statistics Canada, she travelled to Europe and South America to enrich her love and understanding of her Ukrainian cultural heritage. A favourite pastime was entertaining her family and friends with her wonderful piano playing talent. She spent many summers enjoying time with family and friends in Gimli where her parents had retired. She will be remembered by her nieces and their families as a kind, loving, good humored Aunt. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Oakview Place ExtendiCare for the loving, dedicated care they gave to Bertha.
