Services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, at Eastgate Funeral Service, 2302 E. Divide Ave., Bismarck, with the Rev. Rebecca Aardahl officiating. Burial will be in Sunset Memorial Gardens, Bismarck. Bertha was born Dec. 10, 1918, the daughter of Jacob and Karaline (Trautman) Bender on a farm three-a-half miles west of Temvik. Bertha was one of a family of 11 girls, five younger, five older and two brothers. She received her elementary education in a small school in Liberty School District in Emmons County. It was the beginning of the "Great Depression," so all hands were needed on the farm. In 1938, Bertha married Ernest Grossman and lived on a farm south of Hazelton and later they purchased the Waddell Farm near Temvik. Bertha and Ernest had two children, Carrie and John. Ernest died in 1951, so the farm was sold and Bertha purchased a home in Bismarck, where she attended Capital Commercial College and worked in retail for 18 years. She worked for Opgrands, the Alex Ruth Schop, Northwest Finance and C&H Glass. Bertha married Arthur J. Bender and they had one son, Michael. Arthur died in 1966. Bertha married George C. Myers in 1985 and continued to live in Bismarck. Bertha and George went on many trips, until George's death in 2001. Bertha was very active in the Eagles Auxiliary and was elected to the Eagles Auxiliary Hall of Fame in 2001. She was a motivational force in starting the Capital Quilters, of which she continued to be a member, and her love of quilting never ended. She made many quilts for her family and others. Bertha was a charter member of the Eagles, Elkettes and Toast Mistresses. She was a member of McCabe United Methodist Church. In her later years, Bertha moved to Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center, where she resided until her death. She is survived by her daughter-in-law, Gail, Norman, Okla.; her granddaughter, Jessica Bender; her sisters, Emma Schiermiester and Elsie Schiermiester, Lodi, Calif., Ruth McHatti and her husband, Don, Colorado Springs, Colo., and Mildred and her husband, Richard Abbott, St. Paul, Minn.; her stepdaughters, Ethel "Weezie" Louise Schuler and her husband, Armoin, Lyda Scharnowski, Mavis Fuhrer and Linda and her husband, Lou Biederstedt, all of Bismarck; eight step-grandchildren; and many other friends and relatives. Bertha was preceded in death by her three husbands; her sons, John and Michael; her daughter, Carrie; her sisters, Esther "Tess," Freda, Martha, Mina, Ann and Alvina; two brothers, Edward and Martin; and one stepson, Eugene Fuhrer.
