DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Bertha Lee Cantrel, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and longtime
Dewey resident, died Monday in Bartlesville, OK, after 89 fulfilling
years.
Bertha was born the daughter of Clyde and Nellie (Taylor) Dye on October
4, 1928. She was raised in Mountain Home, AR, and once she finished her
schooling, Bertha moved to Dewey to help her mother care for her
youngest sister Evelyn. One evening while she was waiting in line to buy
tickets at the Dewey Movie Theater she met a nice young man who after
the movie invited her to have a coke with him at the nearby drugstore.
Bertha was united in marriage with Kenneth E. Cantrel on June 16, 1946,
in Kansas. They made their home in Dewey and Pete started his 40-plus
year career with Phillips Petroleum Co. After Pete???s retirement they
travelled the country, visiting state parks and enjoying each other???s
company.
Bertha tended her flower gardens and canned the vegetables Pete grew in
his garden. She was active in the many activities her children were
involved with, including school and Brownies. Bertha was an avid sewer
and made many of the clothes her children grew up wearing. She helped
Pete on the farm, caring for the calves and every once in a while
helping to get one back into the pasture after it escaped. Bertha loved
her grandchildren and would collect the local box turtles for them to
see before setting them free once the grandkids left. She was a loving
mother and will be dearly missed.
Bertha is survived by three children Jeannette Davis of Onalaska, TX,
Brenda Coover and Ray of Houston, and Kyle Cantrel and Tara of West
Columbia, TX; seven grandchildren, Michael, Stacey, Brian, Kim, Kylee,
Britney and Kyle E.; seven great grandchildren, Roxanne, Christian,
Lisa, Casher, Aspen, Nora and Isabella; one great great granddaughter
Layken; sisters Betty Dye, Frances Miller, Wanda Bennet, Carolyn
Nichols, Alice Hunt and Evelyn Steitler plus numerous nieces, nephews
and other family.
She is preceded in death by her parents, husband,
sisters Linda Dye, Mildred Bishop, Thelma Fanning, Shirley Tremain and
Sue Haney.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the
loving care provided by Cornerstone Hospice and Green Country Retirement
Village, LakeView Memory Care Unit.
Graveside services were held at Memorial Park Cemetery. Services are
under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home.
