She and Albert moved to Hartford in 1950 where they started their family, then relocated to East Hartford and ultimately Glastonbury. Prior to her retirement, Bertha was employed for many years with King’s Department Store. She was a member of the AFL-CIO, an auxiliary member of the DAV, as well as a faithful communicant of St. Paul Church in Glastonbury. She never held back what was on her mind, and age meant nothing to her. She was very tech savvy, communicating via Facebook as well as texting. Most of all, Bertha was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by her family, her son, Stephen Henderson in Tennessee; three daughters with their spouses, Donna Trebert (Joel), of Harwinton, Wanda Blanchette (Richard), of Ohio and Linda Sward (John), of Higganum: a brother, Lawrence “Johnny” Nadeau of Orono, ME; two sisters, Pauline Butler of Orono, ME and Bernice Moreau of New Hampshire; ten adored grandchildren, Linda, Shawna, Justin, Jaimie, Stesha, Joey, Krissie, John, Randi and Kayla; Eleven cherished great grandchildren, Dominic, Cameron, Kyle, Caden, Darek, Charlie, Carter, Arya, Troy, Dalin and Gunner.
