Bertha Louise Houser, 93, passed away in Dayton, Ohio on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2014. She is preceded by her husband, Thomas Mitchell Houser (2003). She was a beautiful wife and a wonderful mother to her four children, Virginia (Richard) Blankinship, Thomas Houser Jr., Barbara (Dick) Flack, and Mary Oliver. And a loving grandmother to her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Those who knew her best, recognized her as a very bright, hard-working, fair-minded, even-tempered woman who would do what she could to help her friends and family. Her meals and baked goods were a big hit with everyone who was lucky enough to partake. Her family would scramble to sit next to her for the best back scratches ever! She was so appreciative to all of those who gave her comfort and care in her final years and she never failed to thank them. We will miss her beautiful smile, her sense of humor and her sweet caring nature. Service will be 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, 2014, at Old Mission Mortuary, 3424 E. 21st, Wichita. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the if
