Bertha Seal Hensley, 80, of Elkton died of cancer at her home on Monday, December 30, 2013.
Bertha was born January 28, 1933 in her home place on a Naked Creek Farm in Rockingham County to her late parents, Benjamin and Mabel Seal.

Her life was devoted to her work and her family. She loved and rarely missed any sports events her grandsons participated in. She had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. She loved to read, cook, do word searches and attend hymn sings. She enjoyed talking and spending time with her special friends and neighbors. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend and neighbor to many.
