    Bertha Champion Foster, 92, of Zwolle passed peacefully from this life on June 5, 2017. She was born February 25, 1925. She was a light in her com-munity throughout her life, al-ways willing to extend a listening ear and a warm hug. Her faith in God was inspiring to all around her. Bertha enjoyed gardening, painting, quilting, and cook-ing. Her accomplishments were many, but her greatest achieve-ment was her family; her three sons, Bo, Jerry, and David and their families were her world. She was preceded in death by a host of relatives, including her parents, siblings, and two sons, Bo and Jerry Champion. Those left behind to cherish her memory are her son, David; sis-ter, Joyce; many grandchildren and great grandchildren; and nieces and nephews. “Softly in the morning, you heard a gentle call, you took the hand God offered you, and quietly left us all.”
