Bertha Jane Walters

November 13, 1939 - March 13, 2020

Bertha Jane Stewart Walters, born on November 13, 1939, was a lifelong resident of Elizabethtown, KY and a member of First Christian Church since her younger years when her father and uncle helped to build the church that stood on North Mulberry Street. Called "Granny" by her loving grandchildren and many others, Bertha worked as a dietary manager at Woodland Terrace Nursing Home and Federal Hill Manor in Bardstown for many years. She left that field of work to help her daughter care for her newborn twins and worked as a greeter in Walmart in Elizabethtown. She enjoyed seeing the faces of the regular shoppers and their children. Even though she retired several years ago, when she was out with her family she would often have Walmart customers greet her with a smile. She was preceded in death by her parents, Archie and Bessie Stewart, and her brother, Wayne Stewart. Left behind to cherish her memories are her brother Charles (Pat) Stewart of Elizabethtown and three sisters Mary (Wilbur) Elliott of Elizabethtown, Jean Vierra of North Carolina, Bettye Ward of Cecilia, KY and her children, Debbie (Bobby) Green, Gary Walters, Tod (Teresa) Walters, Becky (Don) Travis and her grandchildren: Dale (Marissa) Goins, Jimmy (Alisha) Goins, Bess (Logan) Outland, Valerie Stewart, Trisha (Cody) Zink, Kyle (Megan) Walters, Kelsey Walters, Cody Walters, Sara, Jesse, Dalton and Dylan Travis and 19 great-grandchildren.
