So enjoyed Bertha and her welcoming smile at Munsey Memorial UMC. Bertha was part of the kitchen staff for several years. I, often, visited the kitchen for delicious foods and great conversations. Bertha had a sweetness about her that touched my heart. I have been blessed to have known her. Priscilla Estes Sarvadi
