Last Sunday night (March 7th) about 10:30pm Denver time, Bertha Buckner (Bert to her friends and family) passed away at the age of 85. Survived by her three children, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, she will be missed by all. She lived a long and good life, sharing most of it with her beloved husband Jerry (Buck) Buckner (who also departed this world six years ago). Bert grew up in North Dakota but made her home in Arvada, Colorado where she raised her family, tended her gardens and kept herself busy as her farming life background had taught her. In between ironing for others and babysitting grandchildren and friend’s children she also quilted and canned foods. Never idle to the last she taught the lesson of hard work. Now her work on this plane is finished and she goes to be reunited with Buck in the world beyond. Rest now and know that you loved and were loved in return.
