It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Bertha Thompson, a beloved mother, cherished friend, and talented baker, who transitioned to her eternal rest on July 23, 2025, in Westland, Michigan. Born on March 13, 1932, in Autaugaville, Alabama, Bertha lived a remarkable life that touched the hearts of many.

Bertha was known for her warm spirit, infectious smile, and exceptional baking skills. Her career as a baker showcased her dedication to caring for others, as she filled the lives of patients, families, and colleagues with joy through her delightful creations. She had a unique ability to bring comfort and happiness to those around her, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness.

Bertha's memory will also be lovingly honored by a wide circle of friends and family who were touched by her grace and warmth.

A public viewing will be held to celebrate Bertha's life on August 4, 2025, at 3:00pm - 9:00pm at the James H. Cole Home for Funerals - Northwest Chapel. Family and friends will have the opportunity to share memories and offer their condolences as we come together to honor her remarkable life.
