Bertie was adored and cherished by all who met her. Born Albertine Louise Dom, she grew up in Indonesia on a plantation with her family, and spent over 2 years of her teenage life in Prisoner of War camps during WWII. After the war she joined camp survivors and boarded a ship to Holland, where she successfully completed her 4 years of high school in 1 year. She then joined the Dutch Army and transferred back to Indonesia, where she met and married John Hermans.<\/p>\n
In 1952 Bertie and John immigrated to the United States and soon after had their first child, Myra. Two years later their son Robert was born. They settled in Washington in 1956. She was the heart and soul of her family and gratefully was able to spend much of her life with them. Bertie and John were active members of the Square Rooters square dance club and gained many cherished friends through the years.<\/p>\n
Bertie is preceded in death by her husband John in 2012. She is survived by her sister Itty, son Bob and daughter-in-law Joni, daughter Myra and son-in-law Mike, granddaughters Jennifer (& Andy) and Kristin, grandson John, and great-grandchildren Avery, Malin, Evan and LJ.<\/p>\n
Bertie was a rare Angel on Earth and will be remembered by her kindness, strength and compassion. She is greatly missed by all. A memoriam of her life will be held at a future date by her family in her hometown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
