Bertha was born Dec. 9, 1942, in Bremerton, Wash., to parents Burr and Oma Abell of Kooskia. After the war, her family bought a ranch in Clearwater, where Bertha attended school.
She was preceded in death by both her parents and her husband, Roger Hager, from Grangeville, whom she met and married after her graduation. During their 52 years of marriage, they moved to several cities while working construction. After retirement, they returned to their beloved home in the Clearwater Valley, and enjoyed camping and riding four-wheelers with so many treasured friends. Bertha also enjoyed her stamping club, where she made cards for all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren for every occasion.
Bertha is survived by her daughter; her son; and four beloved grandchildren, as well as five great-grandchildren.
There will be a memorial held in late spring for the spreading of both Bertha’s and Roger’s ashes, as per their wishes. Details will be announced at a later date.
