She was a beloved wife, loving mother, adored grandmother and devoted aunt. Bertha was born in La Paz, Bolivia and migrated here in 1976 and was a longtime resident of Hackensack.

Bertha loved her family and loved life. Her sense of adventure led her to travel, dance, work in her garden while teaching neighborhood children about nature, and make new friends wherever she could. She never saw a problem as impossible, it just had to be looked at in a different way to find a solution. She was loved by many and had a helping heart, sharing a kind word or deed wherever and however she could. She will be remembered by all by the love, kindness,and encouragement she showed to others. A memorial will be held at a later date for friends and family to celebrate her life.
