HOPKINS, BERTHA MILDRED

Bertha Mildred Hopkins (nee Tucker) May 4, 1946 – February 12,2025

It is with great sadness that the family of the late Bertha Mildred Hopkins announce her passing on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 at Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital, Palliative Care Unit at the age of 78 years. She leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories her husband Wilson Hopkins; son David Thomas Hopkins (Michael), Rockport, Ontario; her sister Cora Johnston (Larry), Fort McMurray, Alberta; sisters: Margaret Newman, and Sharon McKinnon. Brothers: Stennie and Leander Tucker; as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Bertha loved nothing more than travelling the country with her husband and son. Her sense of adventure took her all over the country, from Englee to Leaf Rapids, Fort McMurray, Gananoque, Springdale and so many more. Always looking forward to the next adventure and loved jumping in the car asking where are we going today.

Over her lifetime Bertha made numerous friends. From the girls in the many hotels she worked, a job she loved, to the many family members whom were also lifelong friends. The door was always open to anyone in need of a new start, a place to call home when they were so far home. Often taking the couch when someone was in need of bed. Bert was loved by many and respected by all.

She also loved the simpler things in life after her years of travelling the country. Country walks with Wilson, fishing, berry picking, making jam and the bread to eat it on. An evening of Yahtzee or knitting a pair of socks she was happy, always laughing. We’ll always remember her laughter. Besides her family her loves in life were her dogs, there was never a dog that didn’t make her smile. Bertha will now live on, in the happy memories of all those who loved her.

The family would like the nurses of Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony and the family that surrounded her in her final hours. Thanks to Adrienne and the staff of Roddickton House for caring and assisting her in final days at the home. Thanks to Shirley’s Haven for caring for Wilson while she was at the hospital.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made in her memory to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada https://alzheimer.ca
