Bernita E. Linderman

Bernita was born to James and Faye (Nelson) Bertholf on Jan. 1, 1940, in Kendrick, in the back of the doctor's office. She grew up in northern Idaho and met and married the love of her life, Michael Victor Linderman. They were married June 9, 1964, in Moscow.

Bernita was active in her church, serving in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Troy as the secretary for the Sabbath School there. She also loved singing and had a beautiful voice. Bernita enjoyed volunteering her time at the 1912 Center in Moscow, donating her delicious bread rolls each week. Bernita also loved camping all over the Northwest. She was particularly good at embroidery and making quilts.
