Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Lawrence Keesee; son, Mitch Keesee and wife Robin; grandson, Toby Keesee; brother, Henry Powers and wife Linda; many nieces and nephews, and a host of friends. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Ronnie Cook, Shelia Cook, Linda Caudill, and Barbara Faust for all the care they gave during Bertha's time of need.
