Bert and John were our family's next door neighbors in Ocean City from the time that they bought their home on Central Avenue. We are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Bert. Our hearts go out to her sons and their families. Bert was an interesting conversationalist. She had many adventures to share and was an active volunteer in so many areas. We would chat throughout the summers as she was watering her plants or going to or coming from her many activities. We will miss her.

I knew Bert back in the 60s when I worked with her husband John at Rohm and Hass. Also we both had condos it Isla del Sol in the Tampa BAY area. Her time at the Philadelphia Zoo always impressed me.

I only knew Bert briefly when we worked together to have a bench and tree installed in Doylestown Township in Don Richardson's memory. The quote she chose for the bench plaque was taken from the Philadelphia Zoo and is a lovely tribute to both Don and the natural world. She was a lovely person!

Bert. Who can think of her without smiling? Our annual, brief meetings at conferences were special. She always remembered me, sharing hugs, smiles and special words of friendship. More recently, occasional bicoastal FaceBook greetings were sufficient to remind me that friendship was, and will always be a treasured gift from a beautiful lady.

Bert was such a wonderful lady. Always dressed to the nines. Everywhere we went Bert knew someone and was loved by all. We were in book club, golfing and played Majhong. So interesting to talk to about all of her travels. She will be missed by many but she lived her life to the fullest. We know you are in a good place now Bert with your Heavenly Father. Rest In Peace❤️❤️

I'm sorry to hear of Bert's passing. I served with her on the Board of the Association of Zoo and Aquarium Docents and Volunteers for several years. I also went on some of the wonderful trips she planned for members of AZADV. She was a dynamo!

I will always remember Bert,
we met at a golf outing and continued golfing in the ladies league. She was so kind and complimentary. Also as a member of Friends and Volunteers of Ocean city Library she was alway willing to serve on committees.
We were all blessed to know such a beautiful soul.

I am so sorry to hear of Bert's passing. I was so looking forward to us sharing some time together this winter at Isla. I know she too was looking forward to finally spending more time here with her many Florida friends.
I will miss you Bert and sorry we never got to take that trip together to Africa and Cuba.
I can feel some comfort knowing that you are now in God's loving hands.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Love, Joyce Rosner

I was so sorry to hear of Bert’s passing. I met Bert while working for the City of Ocean City with her involvement with the Friends of Pops. It was always a pleasure to see her at Pops meetings, concerts, or just stopping by the office to purchase tickets. I always enjoyed her stories of things she was passionate about. She will be missed.
