BERTHA JONASSON
Bertha passed away peacefully on July 19, 2023 at the Gimli Community Health Centre, at the age of 94.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband Jon, daughter Lynn, son-in-law Henry, her special nephew George, parents, Hallur and Vilhelmina Johnson, siblings, Florence, Helen, Lily, Edward and Einar, as well as Jon’s parents and siblings.
Bertha is survived by daughter Sigrid (Dave) and son Ragnar (Donna), George’s wife Doreen; grandchildren, Warren (Karmen), Diana (Corey), Stefan (Melissa), Heidi, Jon, Shawn (Cortney), 13 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Bertha was born in Langruth, on June 17, 1929 and later moved and grew up in Vidir. She married Jon on October 20, 1951 and they lived and farmed in Arnes and ran the Jonasson’s General Store for 21 years.
Amma enjoyed her grandchildren, often playing music, baseball and cards (the grandchildren always won).
Mom was an avid gardener, reader and knitter and has left us with a stack of warm wool mitts.
Mom was happy to have been able to stay in and care for her own home all of her life.
The family would like to thank the Interlake Eastern Ambulance personnel and the wonderful staff at the Gimli Community Health Centre.
At her request, cremation has taken place, there will be no formal service and a private interment will take place.
