BERTHA G. DILL (née Kück), 88, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 22, 2026. Born on October 27, 1937, in Neu Sankt Jürgen, Worpswede, Germany, she was the daughter of the late Johann and Anna (Buerfeind) Kück.

Bertha grew up on her family farm in Germany. At age 31, she immigrated to the United States with her husband and children to build a new life. She had various jobs, however, Bertha found great joy in her role as a homemaker and being an exceptional cook for those she loved. She will be remembered as a woman of deep faith in God with a spirited personality.

She was the beloved wife of the late Erwin Dill. Her legacy lives on through her children: Heike (Ernie) Kleine, Gerhard (Cathy) Dill, and Reinhard (Jeanette) Dill. She was the cherished grandmother of Linda (James) Fore, Daniel Kleine, Elise Kleine, Benjamin Kleine, Gabrielle LaRiccia, Sophia Tokich and the proud great-grandmother of Jameson and Dylan Fore. Bertha was a dear aunt and friend to many. She was preceded in death by her siblings: Johann, Meta, Kathe, Lina, Konny, and Marga.
