Bertha was born on June 14, 1937 in Valiant, Oklahoma to Willie and Laura Perry. She was the 5th child born of 13 children. Growing up she and her family worked together picking cotton on various farms in southeast Oklahoma . She graduated from Valiant High School in 1955 and ten years later started her own family with the birth of her son, Jeffrey.  Bertha lived In Dallas, Texas and worked for an insurance company then moved to Oklahoma City where she worked at Local Federal Savings and Loan from 1966 to 1980 when she and Jeffrey moved to Mountain Park.  Once she moved to Mountain Park, she worked at Mables, a dress shop in Synder and eventually began working at the Farmers Coop as a bookkeeper where she retired in 2000.  In 2017, she moved to Norman, Oklahoma to live with her son and daughter in law.
