Bertha “Bert” M. Boysel, 83, of Washington Court House, Ohio, passed away on October 22, 2026, at the OSU Medical Center in Columbus following recent health challenges.
She was born on August 30, 1943, in Trenton, New Jersey, to Charles and Alfreda (Heller) Kitner. Throughout her life, Bertha was known to many as “Bert,” a name that stayed with her through the years and reflected the warmth and familiarity she shared with those around her.
Bertha devoted 23 years of service to Fayette County Memorial Hospital, where she worked in registration. Her steady presence and years of commitment reflected a life shaped by dedication and care in her work.
Outside of her work, Bertha found joy in crafting, needlepoint, crocheting, and reading. She also shared special memories with her family on deer hunting trips, where she took on the role of spotter. These moments became part of the stories and experiences that those who loved her will continue to remember.
She is survived by her husband, Joseph Boysel, whom she married on May 19, 1969; her daughter, Renea Moore of Sabina; her son, Joseph Boysel Jr. of WCH; her grandchildren, Triston Moore and Trenton Moore; and her sisters and brothers-in-law, Mary (Bernard) Robinson and Rebecca (William) Rollins. She will be deeply missed by her family and by all who knew and loved her.
Along with her parents, Bertha was preceded in death by her sister, Barbara Kerekes; and her brothers, Charles Kitner, Raymond Kitner, and Richard Kitner.
Her life was marked by devotion to her family and enjoyment of the simple things that brought her happiness. Her memory will remain a lasting blessing to those she leaves behind.
Honoring her wishes, cremation will take place. Burial will follow in the Washington Cemetery at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bert's memory are suggested to St. Judes Children's Hospital.
