Bertha Lavanna Dempsey - The obituary for Bertha does not mention her marriage to Rufus Faulk/Falk.

The obituary for Bertha does not mention her marriage to Rufus Faulk/Fall, who was the father to all of her children. They separated whenever the children were young and Grandma raised the five without Rufus being involved.
She passed away on April 11, 1975, only a few days after first birthday of her first great grandchild and my first daughter Brooke.
