Bertha Margaret Cussins

Bertha "Bert" Margaret Cussins Passed away peacefully at home, with her loving husband by her side on Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Bertha was born on August 14, 1925, in Copeland Township, Kansas, to Joseph and Edith Crouse. Bertha and her husband, Robert Carl Cussins planted roots in Glide, Oregon, in 1959. Bertha enjoyed many years of bowling leagues and her service to the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. Most precious to her were her four children. Preceding her in death were her daughter, Beverly Cussins and son, David Campbell. Surviving are daughter, Dorothy Martin of Graham, Washington, and son, Robert C. Cussins Jr. of Eugene, Oregon, along with beloved sister, Cleo Dutton of Cortez, Colorado and brother, Leon Boren of Cortez. Bertha's ten grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren cherish the time spent with their spunky, pepsi drinking, pink lip stick wearing "Grammie" at their home in Glide and the many memories of time on the river, picking berries, and camping at Quartz Mountain. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Glide Fire Department. A formal service will not be held. The family will celebrate Bertha's life during a family reunion in August.
