Peacefully surrounded by her family on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at Bluewater Health, Sarnia. Alberta Berkers (nee Donkers), formerly of Camlachie, was in her 94th year. She was the loving wife to the late Jack Berkers (2009). She will be missed by her children Mary (the late Tony) Huybers of Camlachie, Tom and Ramona Berkers of Brigden, Teresa and David King of Wyoming, and Jim Berkers of Camlachie.

She will be remembered for always sharing her interests and passions with her grandkids, they all could have had unlimited tennis lessons if they wanted. They have so many memories of strawberry sandwiches and playing at the farm in Camlachie. We can’t count the number of sewing projects she helped us with and we will all treasure our amazing quilts.
