During the war years the family moved to Renton, Washington, where Mr. Schadler worked in the ship yards during the war effort.
The marriage was blessed with three daughters, Doris (James) Dittus, Boise, ID; Margaret (Boyd) Haugrose, Ogema, MN; and Irene (Jim) Greff, Bismarck, ND.

Bertha's life centered on her family and "extended family" as she took in her nieces and nephews while they attended school in Elgin. Her home was always filled with friends and relatives. She was active in her church, loved sewing, quilting, and visiting with friends and family and was known as "Grandma" to all whom knew her. She will be remembered for her bright eyes and happy greetings to all. Her kind and loving ways will be missed by all who knew her.
