Bertha Mae Metz Dyer, age 78, of Hope Means Road, Means, Kentucky, formerly of Jeffersonville, passed away Sunday, March 22, 2026, at St. Joseph Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.

Born June 5, 1947, in Calhoun County, West Virginia, she was a daughter of the late Vear Metz and Mabel Mae Louk Metz. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Phillip Nolan Dyer; and three sisters, Grace Mace, Imma Jean Bowers, and Mary Ann Butler.

Bertha was a homemaker and a former employee of Cowden’s Manufacturing in Mt. Sterling, Winn-Dixie, Nell’s, and Dough Daddy’s. She enjoyed cooking, crocheting, and sewing, and loved sitting around the kitchen table, sharing memories of the old days with family and friends over a hot cup of coffee. Most of all, her greatest love and passion was her devotion to her family. Her legacy of love, faith, and kindness will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be greatly missed.
