Edna Alverda Talbert
Edna Alverda “Bertie” Talbert passed away peacefully Friday, March 30, 2018, in Aldie, Va.
She was born October 8, 1937, in Ralph, to Everette and Edna Simpson Rockwell. She graduated from German Township High School in 1955.
Her work as an activities director at both a nursing home and a home for people with disabilities brought her great joy; however, nothing brought her more joy than her deep and abiding love for her husband of 59 years. On November 1, 1958, she married Joseph Nelson Talbert.
Edna “Bertie” was happiest spending time with her friends and family while cooking, crafting, playing cards or golfing.
She is survived by her husband, Joseph; sister Vivian Caudill; four children, Trent, Michelle, Kristin and Marlene; 13 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Edna and Everette Rockwell, and sisters Helen Skursha and Sarah McMahon.
