Bertha confessed her hope in Christ at an early age and united with Morning Star Baptist Church, Whatley, AL where she served as President of the Usher Board, President of the Missionary Society, and Member of the Mother's Board until her health no longer permitted.

Bertha was united in holy matrimony to the late Deacon James Wright on October 14, 1950 in Grove Hill, Alabama. They resided in Chicago, Illinois for many years where Bertha was employed and retired from Ero Manufacturing Company.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by three brothers, Dave Wilson, Jr., Ira Wilson, and Ruben Wilson; three sisters, Ruby Harris-Pullom, Lenora Denton, and Lovie Lynum.

Fond memories will linger in the hearts of Willie James (Faye) Wilson of Jackson, AL; a loving and devoted nephew she raised as her son; two sisters, Annie Armstead of Whatley, AL and Minnie Simpson of Suggsville, AL; two sisters-in-law, Lucille Wright of Suggsville, AL and Jessie Jones of Mobile, AL; a brother-in-law, Thelma Lynum of Whatley, AL; three devoted friends, Louise Weaver, Lucille Brown, and Lenora Allen; a host of nieces; a host of nephews, Woodrow Wilson, devoted nephew, and other relatives and friends.
