Bert, born on May 18, 1930, in Stillwater to Ted and Bertha Hesser, grew up in the Glencoe area and attended school at Eureka Grade School. Then she moved with her parents to California and graduated from San Diego High School in 1948. After graduation, the family moved back to Oklahoma where Bert worked for Murphy's in Stillwater. A young man named Charles Denman Rushmore came courting, and after only thirteen dates, they eloped to Arkansas where she married the love of her life, on November 4, 1949. They were married sixty-six years. Two daughters, Cathey and Pam, completed the happy family. Bert believed her primary task was taking care of her husband and daughters. She loved cooking and putting up the garden produce that she and Charles raised. In addition, she worked side by side with Charles at the Perkins Livestock Auction; Bert belonged to the Lost Creek United Methodist Church and faithfully provided her homemade goodies for the bazaars and auctions held there. Bert is preceded in death by her parents Ted and Bertha Hesser, husband Charles, and brothers Chris and John Wesley Hesser, and sisters Caroline Keller and Nadine Barnes. She is survived by her daughters Cathey Wollenberg and Pam Allen and her husband David; grandchildren: Kim Wollenberg, Jason Wollenberg, and Michelle and her husband Stoney Matheson.
