Frances Louise Bertsch

Frances Louise Bertsch, 71, was called home to be with our Lord and Savior on Sunday, Feb. 23rd, 2014. She was born March 23rd, 1942 to Ralph and Jessie Graddy in Bryant, Arkansas. She graduated from Bryant High School in 1960. "Gram" will be missed by all that loved her dearly. Her family and friends were the most important things in her life. Her love and dedication for her children and grandchildren cannot be measured. She loved to cook and take care of others. Her laughter and wit seemed to fill the room. She is preceded in death by her parents and brother, Delane Graddy. She is survived by her husband of 27 years, Major (USAF-Retired) John E. Bertsch, daughter, Leslie and Marty Brandon, son, Jody and Amy Niemann, step-daughter, Jiki and Dana Betts, grandchildren, Taylor and Shelby Brandon, Hannah and Joseph Niemann and her loving dog, Patton. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Heart Association. Arrangements are by Griffin Leggett Healey & Roth. Online guestbook at www.griffinleggetthealeyroth.com.
