Bertha Poliska Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Bertha Poliska of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, born in Barbours, Pennsylvania, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on August 15, 2024 at the age of 93. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Bertha farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Bertha is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

Kibler (Steven) of Williamsport, Lois M. Gateley (Maurice) of South Williamsport and Linda A. Aikey (Douglas) of Central City. She is also survived by 7 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.
The family will provide the flowers and suggest memorial contributions to Alzheimer's Foundation of America 322 Eighth Ave., 16th Floor New York, NY 10001. Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family at mccartythomas.com.
