Michael, David, Margaret Ann and the entire family circle, we are so sorry to hear of Bertha's passing. Sending our sincerest condolences at this sad and difficult time. Growing up across the road from the Whitcroft family on Stauffer street brings back many cherished memories. Some of our earliest connections go back to when mom-"Joycee," as Michael often called her- babysat Michael and Jody. From those early days onward, Bertha was a steady, welcoming presence, always greeting us with a friendly smile and endless patience despite our daily intrusions. We spent countless hours at the Whitcrofts, playing baseball and football on their large lot, imagining we were our NHL idols on their homemade ice rink, engaging in non-injurious bike tag, and building dams and catching snakes in the river. Gathering in the garage for marathon APBA baseball dice games was simply a part of growing up. David introduced us to Elton John and Alice Cooper, and we roamed the neighbourhood to star in Director David's homemade movies like "Hunt in the Jungle", and "Nuclear Waste Monster". "Joe Montana" playing football on the street at 2:00 a.m., or "Evil Knievel" attempting to clear the Lucknow river on a bicycle have always brought us a few chuckles as we reminisce. Please know that all of us in the Dennis family are holding you close in our thoughts. Bertha helped shape a neighbourhood where kids could play, roam, imagine, and grow, and her warmth stayed with us long after those childhood days ended. We are grateful for her, and for all the years our families shared across that little stretch of road. Sincerely Joy, Jody, and Mike Dennis

Our sincere condolences to the family.

Bertha was a great neighbour of ours on Stauffer Street. And she was always ready for a chat and catch up even after we moved away. As clerk treasurer she was a wealth of information and questions were consistently answered with a smile. We are thinking of you all as you celebrate Bertha's special life.

Michael, Margaret Ann & David We were so sorry to hear of Bertha's passing. I have lots of great memories of Bertha while growing up in town, always a smile and a chat. I remember the first time I stopped in and asked if "Zip" was home and she said "don't you mean Michael". I never call you Zip again when talking with your mom. She was a great lady! Our condolences. Ken & Linda Atkinson

Please accept my sincere condolences to Bertha's family at this time. As the Clerk-Treasurer of the Township of Kinloss for nine years prior to amalgamation, Bertha and I had worked very closely over those years and I always enjoyed our chats.

Hi Maggie, I know Reg made a comment on Facebook but I wanted to pass on my condolences as well. Your mum sounds like and interesting and wonderful person. You have my condolences on your loss. Warm regards, Kate

Condolences to the family of Margarette

Condolences to all of Bertha’s family. Always giving up a friendly smile and hello as she walked the streets of the town she called home.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Berthas family .. she loved and worked hard for her community . When I was on council we depended on Bertha for everything,,efficient with info always at her fingertips.. I remember when she proposed to council she really really needed a fax machine to make her job quicker and easier,, we had to think long and hard to justify $900 for a new such item to justify taxpayers money spent,, what a luxury,,,,May she rest in peace,, she deserves her eternal rest

- always remember the good times with you and George on town council --
