From the entire Short family (Barry and Linda) that lived across the street from Cleo and Bertha. We send our deepest condolences and our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Oh our dear sweet family friend Bertha!! What an incredible privilege it has been to have you as a beacon of light. In our families lives. You were oh so loved by everyone. My Mom & you became friends in the 50’s & remained friends throughout life. You were born a day before Mom, you & her never missed calling each other for your birthday’s. Wonderful memories of you Bertha. You are one of the greatest, “spiritual daughter’s of Our Heavenly Father” that graced our lives. Our hearts & prayers go out to your family & friends. We pray that each person may feel your grace in our hearts forever. Love, The Ray & Norma Johnson Family.
On the wings of a dove Aunt Bertha so much love has been waiting for your return.
So sorry.
From your neighbors across the street--the Riggle family. You have been a wonderful neighbor and friend since we moved in in 1980 and you watched our 2 kids grow. I will miss our short conversations from across the street and visiting you in your house. Hugs to you and your family.
My condolences to all of the Hall family, my family. Aunt Bertha will be missed and she was a great woman and great example of understanding, love, and compassion. She was always one of the the older generation family members who was the backbone to the family & brought people together. Praise God for her long life and we will all celebrate all the great memories. Until we meet again. Love you Aunt Bertha.

What a wonderful woman! I miss you so much at our study group!! I love you and you have had such a strong influence in my life and your zeal for life and for people was thrilling and inspiring!
We send our sincere condolences to Bertha’s family. What a great woman!
So sorry to hear the sad news of Berths passing, lovely lady I am pleased I met her Condolences to all her family K .
What can I say that would do justice to my dearest friend Bertha. I thought she would be with us forever on this earth. She seemed to be indestructible. Our family was blessed beyond words to live next to the Halls.
I could speak forever about all Bertha's good qualities. She is a true disciple of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and lived her life accordingly. I can't imagine the world without her here. Will truly miss her. Mike and LuAnn feel the same.
Sweet Bertha has been a special friend for over 45 years. She’s never wavered in her love and devotion for her family, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Through good times or bad she had a positive attitude and smile on her face. She taught me how to be my best in my leadership responsibilities, and how to keep going when things were tough. I think of Bertha often even though we moved from Mesa Dr 10 years ago. We’re sad to not be able to attend her services but are grateful that Zoom is being offered.
Our condolences to her beautiful family. We were so grateful to be able to celebrate her 100 birthday in 2022 and all that you did to make that happen. She will be greatly missed. 💞
Bertha Hall - what a legacy! From the moment I first met her, I knew I had a friend. So supportive, such a cheerful countenance all the time. Always smiling, just like in her picture. She brought brightness to all those she associated with. She was a great example of faith and righteousness. She was and is, a giant noble spirit!
Thank you, Bertha, for all the love and joy you brought into so many lives.
Say hello to dad
Sending thoughts and prayers for all the family and friends ❤️ she was such a special loving person ,and such a great example of love and caring.. I will miss her forever.. till we meet again❤️🙏 love you Bertha and miss you everyday💕
Bertha was such a dear friend to me personally and to my whole family. She always remembered my birthday and had a nickname for our daughter Nancy which she loved. I served with her in many church callings and she was indeed an inspiration to me. We both loved the church hymns and I loved accompanying her when she led the music. She had such a sweet spirit and her constant upbeat personalilty helped me and tons of others . Study group is not the same without her. I am happy that she has moved on to a new life experience, but we all will miss her greatly. I send my love to the whole family.
Janice, Carla, Jim and John,
What a wonderful service for your Mom! It was beautiful and Luke hit the spot with his comments. Carol and I went to see her when I was there in January and it is true, she would not let you leave. We finally left because she would not eat her dinner:)). I have loved her since I met her. I can’t even imagine all the Joy she is experiencing with Cleo and all her family and the people that she brought to the gospel. What a wonderful life it is for her! I will miss her.

To the Hall family, I am so sorry for your loss, what a special lady she was. Growing up she was like a mother to me, she treated me like one of her own. She did not judge me but always told me what I should be doing in a kind way. She surely will be missed hear on earth
