Bertha Maryann Kreger

Born January 20, 1926 in Chamberlain, Saskatchewan to parents John and Mary Sperling.

Last day with us, November 26,2023. Much loved and amazing wife, mom, nana, sister and friend.

It is with much sadness that we say goodbye to our dear mother, Bertha Maryann Kreger, at the age of 97. Bertha was predeceased by husband Herb and infant son Jimmy. Bertha is lovingly remembered by her four children: Ron (Janice), Judy, Darlene (Blake), Gary (Katherine), six grandchildren; Heidi, Julia, Tabatha, Carrie, Shelby (Brett), Kelly (Jack) and one great grandchild Sheldon.

Bertha's family moved to Chilliwack B.C. where she spent her early years growing up with her six siblings. It was here she met and married Herb in 1948. Shortly after, they moved to Kamloops where they made their home and raised their family. They had 69 wonderful years together.

Mom loved all things plants, with a special fondness for African Violets. While in her Valleyview home, she spent endless happy hours tending her flower gardens. We always went home with a freshly cut bouquet! She was a phenomenal cook and dessert maker. The queen of pies!

Mom had a “never give up attitude” and an admirable sunny outlook on life. She felt blessed to live in her own home until her passing. She cherished her family and all the good times she shared with us. Mom will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed.

Bertha was a lifetime member of the CWL.

Those we love

don't go away,

they walk beside

us everyday.

Unseen, unheard,

but always near.

Still loved, still missed.
