Bertha Marie Cabrera of Fort Collins, CO passed away quietly on February 2, 2024 after a short illness.
Bertha was born on March 18, 1930 to Tobias and Mary Antonia Vigil in Wellington, CO.
Bertha is survived by her children Patricia Vigil of Granby, CO. Andrew Vigil (Dora) of Fort Collins, Paula Cardona of Greeley, CO., Steven Cabrera (Oralia) of Fort Collins, Sally Mendiola (James) of Westminster, CO, and Rebecca Salazar (Phil) also of Westminster, CO, 22 grandchildren and 31 great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by a son Daniel Vigil, her parents Tobias and Mary, brothers Archie, Edward, and Pete, sisters Eva, Sadie, Julia and Mary Ellen, she is the last of her generation.
Bertha grew up in the Wellington and Bellvue areas before settling in Fort Collins. She received her cosmetology certificate from Bernal's Hair Salon and later for 30 years worked at Teleydne Water Pick where she joined the Colorado Women's Bowling Association and in 1983 was part of the Championship Tournament team; in her days she bowled 2 300 pin games. She is a member of the American Legion Unit 4 in LaPorte, CO. And a lifetime member of the Fort Collins Auxillary 1781 VFW.
Her favorite pastimes were spent playing Bingo and Pickles with her friends, watching the Colorado Rockies her favorite team and no one dared say anything against them. She enjoyed watching game shows, the Vigil Family Reunion, mostly anytime spent with the family and friends was the best part of her days.
The family would like to give special thanks to Pathways Hospice for their care of her; Jana, Helene, and Sierra we couldn't have done it without you. Also to the Gallegos cousins who continuously provided food on a regular basis. To all those who kept us and her in prayer, made phone calls and spent hours sharing memories and laughter. To her niece and granddaughter who came to watch her when we were called away.
A rosary will begin at 9:30 am, Friday, February 9, 2024 with the funeral mass to begin at 10 am at Holy Family Catholic Church with interment to follow at Grandview Cemetery.
