After retirement, she moved near her daughter in Chapman, KS where she helped to raise and “spoil” grandkids, great-grandkids, and great-great-grandkids! Alberta, affectionately known as “Grandma Bert” was a woman of few vices, though she did enjoy shopping and shoes and was definitely one of the most stylish and best-dressed grandmas around. She was a model of love and faith and her generosity touched the lives of many.
