Alberta “Bertha” Millan, resident of Grande Prairie, AB, passed away on Friday, June 7, 2024 in Grande Prairie at the age of 89 years.

Alberta was born in High Prairie, AB and her family moved to Goodfare, AB, where they farmed up until 1979, when they returned once more to Grande Prairie. She had a great appreciation for the outdoors, camping, picking berries, gardening and cleaning. She loved seeing happiness in others, and always wanted to help.

She is also survived by siblings: Christine and Lawerance; daughter-in-law: Tammy; Tammy’s parents: Bertha and Grant Sunstrum of Innisfail, AB; as well as the rest of the Sunstrum family.
