Alberta Lynn "Bert" (Barkley) DeWitt, age 61, of Moline, Kansas, passed away on Friday, November 13, 2015 peacefully in her sleep.  She was born on February 10, 1954 in Chanute, Kansas.

Alberta graduated from Moline High School in 1972 and continued on to receive her degree as a Registered Nurse.  She married Donnie Lee DeWitt on August 5, 1972 at the First Baptist Church in Moline, Kansas.  Two sons were born to this union,  Brandon Lee and Brent Allen.  She enjoyed fishing, camping, and square dancing with Donnie and especially loved spoiling her grandchildren.  Family, friends, and her nursing career were Alberta's love and joy.  She leaves behind many caring friends and relatives.    She was truly loved and will be missed.

The memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Friday, November 20, 2015 at the First Baptist Church in Moline, Kansas where Alberta had been a member since 1967.  Burial will follow at the Moline Cemetery.  Family suggests memorials to the Alberta DeWitt Scholarship Fund for Nursing to help local students get a nursing degree and may be left with the funeral home or mailed to Countryside Funeral Home, P.O.
