Obituary: Mrs. Bertha E. Swinford was a warm hearted and well liked individual. She was a sociable and amiable person, someone who was always making certain that those around her had whatever they needed. Bertha was a talkative person who was tactful at all times but typically said what she meant. Bertha was born at Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, Washington. She was the daughter of Hugh and Elizabeth Herren. Bertha was raised in Puyallup, Washington. During her childhood she learned to be reliable and respectful. Bertha was an obedient child who found it easy to show sympathy and to perform kind acts for others. These admirable qualities would become a part of Berthas personality throughout her life. Bertha was raised with five siblings. She had brothers, Will, Judd, and Rodney, and sisters, Belle and Marjorie. Bertha and her siblings had the typical rivalries while growing up, but they cared deeply for one another and shared many special life experiences over the years. For Bertha, the school routines were never a problem although she generally preferred variety to structure. Bertha was very observant and was generally quick at picking up new things. She graduated from Puyallup High School in 1931. She enjoyed some courses more than others, having favorite classes and teachers. Her favorite classes in high school were History and Geography. There was one thing that all of Berthas friends knew and will still remember, and that is that she was very social and could pretty much talk to anybody about anything. This quality is one of the primary reasons that Bertha was such a popular person throughout her life. But Bertha was also dependable, loyal and trustworthy. Bertha was the kind of person who simply radiated good fellowship. While she maintained personal standards and her own personal values, Bertha was very accepting of others. When Bertha made friends, she made true and lasting friendships. While growing up, some of her best friends were Alvera Starwich and Louise . Later in life, she became friends with Doris Fischer, Lisa Leoni, Betty Yaap, Irene Hanson, and Fran Lannom. Bertha was a faithful and loving person. Some would even call her sentimental and a romantic at heart. Her kindness and consideration radiated an aura of warmth to those around her. Bertha cared for what others thought and carried that into her marriage. On 3, 1935 Bertha married Robert Lee Swinford at a hotel with a minister from United Brethren Church of Seattle, Washington. Compassionate and devoted, Bertha worked hard to make her new life partner happy. Harmony was important to Bertha and she made every effort to maintain it with her family. Bertha was blessed with four children, three daughters, Roberta, Diane and Christina, and one son, Robert Lee Jr. were also blessed with four grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild, Grant, Troy, Leslie, Dean a, Stacie, Alyson, Tiantia, Mason and Kali. Bertha was always conscious of the feelings others had. She was reasonable and understanding. Taking her work seriously came naturally to Bertha, and she expected the same from those around her. Her primary occupation was being an excellent wife and mother. She loved raising and taking care of her family for many years. She brought harmony to her home environment, doing what was necessary in order to get the job done, while always maintaining respect for her entire family. A methodical woman, Bertha enjoyed spending time working on her various hobbies. She had no problem following all of the steps and instructions on a given project and was proud of the fact that she could have something to show for her efforts. Her favorite pursuits were crocheting and baking goodies. Her keen interest in things that affected the lives of other people led Bertha to become actively involved in professional and community organizations. Because she was outgoing and worked well with others, Bertha did her fair share of volunteer work. Throughout her later years, Bertha was an active member of the Eastern Star and Presbyterian Churchs Womens Association. Bertha was the kind of person who would readily move into action in order to help others. She was appreciated and respected. She could find value in the opinions of others and was passionate about her own values and beliefs. Politically, Bertha was a very strong supporter of the Democratic Party. Her high moral standards and traditional values served Bertha well with her faith. Religion and faith were very important to her. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church for 55 years. During that time, she served as a Deacon. She was well respected because she was such an outgoing individual who sought to help in any manner she could. One of Berthas favorite things to do was travel. Her favorite vacations included getting in the car with her husband and driving wherever they wanted to go. She also enjoyed trips to Europe and a trip through Eastern Canada and the USA called " Fall Foliage". Bertha was also a lover of animals and cherished her pets. One of her favorites was Becky, a Cocker Spaniel, who was a best friend for 11 years. Her family was rounded out by her cat named Grady. Sadly, Bertha passed away on 27, 2010 at Sharp Hospital in Chula Vista, California due to a narrowing valve in her heart that finally closed. She is survived by her husband, Robert Lee; daughters, Diane Gangloff and Christina Myers; grandchildren Grant, Troy, Leslie, and Dean a; great grandchildren, Stacie, Alyson, Tiantia, Mason; great great grandchild, Kali, and all of her nieces and nephews in the state of Washington. Services were held at Glen Abbeys Little Chapel of the Roses in Bonita, California. Bertha was a fantastic conversationalist who could engage just about anyone in a discussion. And whenever she said something, continued... |
