MANTHORNE; Bertha B., 83, of Liverpool, Queens County, passed away peacefully in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool on Friday, September 8, 2023 surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Liverpool, Bertha was a daughter of the late Perry and Adelaide “Addie” (Crouse) MacLeod.
Bertha was a former long time employee of Liverpool Home Hardware since its inception beneath the IGA store owned by Harley Umphrey. She was an accomplished artist who could draw and paint anything and she did!! Bertha loved to be outside gardening, she loved to play cards and “games of chance”. She very much loved being around people and was loyal to her true friends, but, most of all, Bertha loved spending time with her family.
Bertha is survived by her daughters Erika (Bobby) Oickle of Milton and Anne-Marie (Kelly) Scott of Mersey Point. Her grandchildren Tucker Nowe, Jeremy Scott (Kelsey Rogers) and Alyssa (Adam) Doggett. Her great grandchildren Marcus Scott, William and Samuel Doggett.
Besides her parents, Bertha was predeceased by her husband Eric; her sisters Vilda, Nina, Madge, Annie, Anita, and Joyce. Her brothers St. Clair, Kingsford “King” and John “Jack”.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. A graveside funeral service will be held Thursday, September 14, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. in Maple Grove Cemetery, Chelsea. Reverend Cherry Workman and Reverend Judy Cross officiating. No flowers by request, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. Online condolences may be made to www.chandlersfuneral.com
Bertha’s family offers a special thank you to the nurses and doctors of Queens General Hospital Emergency Department and Medical floor for their compassionate care of mom. Your kindness not only to our mother but to us, her family, was a great comfort at a most difficult time.
To the residents and staff of Hillsview Acres, a huge thank you for Mom’s continuing care once she arrived. It wasn’t an easy decision, but you made her comfortable and included. For that, we say thank you.

    So sorry to hear of Bertha’s passing. Such a kind lady, and a very entertaining storyteller. Loved to spend time with her while she picked out fabric for her next quilt, when I worked at the local fabric store in the late 1980’s. I also looked forward to seeing her when I shopped at Home Hardware. She was always so helpful. She will be missed by all who knew her.
