Bertha Ruth Benson

She was born on August 30, 1934 in Concord, NH, the eldest daughter of the late Leo G. and Bertha (née Carr) Hatch. A proud graduate of St. John's High School in Concord, NH, Bertha was a Treasurer with New Hampshire Savings Bank for over twenty years.
A former resident of Loudon, NH, Bertha enjoyed sewing, cooking, travel and spending time with her family, which included teaching her grandchildren how to bake and taking scenic rides along the New England coast. She loved the fall season, the ocean, sunrises, walks along the beach and spending time on Cape Cod. Bertha also took pleasure in being a selfless caregiver.

Bertha is likewise survived by many nieces and nephews and her brother-in-law Bobby Benson and his wife Sylvia.
