Local centenarian reflects on 100 years (relevance: 43.6%, date: Dec 3, 2025)
NASHVILLE - A lifetime marked by devotion to family, education, and truth: Bertha Dickens, who just celebrated her 100th birthday Nov. 26, is passing down her legacy to six children, around forty grandchildren, around twenty great-grands and between five and ten great-great grands.
Bertha, then Bertha Howington, was born on "the Braswell farm" in Whitakers, one of 13 children to Percy Lee Bunn and Levy Howington; Levy kept his family fed by digging graves in Edgecombe and Nash Counties, most often at Red Hill Baptist, where he was eventually laid to rest in 1967.
