For thirty years she cleaned the rectory and was the bookkeeper. Along with her husband, Bud, she cared for the landscaping around the Church and in the Grotto. Bernetta served others through her kindness and charity.
Bird was passionate about her faith, her family, birds and cats. She and Bud were proud to have had the opportunity to care for and care about so many nieces, nephews and other children.
Some thoughts shared by nieces and nephews:
“She was very soft spoken and had a gentle touch.”
“She was already a saint on earth.” “So smart, so funny.” “She had an infectious laugh.” “Everything had a ‘kid’ in it …” “Listen kid.” “I kid you not!” “Oh kid!” “Jiminy Christmas, kid!”
Bird was very, very loved!
