She spent her early life on a farm in Freer Hollow just outside of Walton. She attended a rural one-room school before attending Walton High School in her ninth-grade year. A much-admired teacher in those early years inspired her to work towards a career in education. She completed her high school degree at Walton High School with honors in 1930, and then attended the Oneonta Normal School, graduating in 1933 with a teaching certificate.

While raising her young family she returned to school, receiving her bachelor's degree in elementary education in 1949. She again returned to school later on and received her master's degree in 1952, from the State University College at Oneonta.

During World War II, she joined the war effort by working as a telephone operator and as a quality control worker at the plant on Dietz Street that supplied airplane fittings.

She retired in 1975, after spending 36 years teaching in the elementary grades, including one year in a country school, three years each in Roscoe and Mount Upton, and the remainder in the Oneonta school district.

Bert received an Oneonta Advocacy Award in 1993, from the State University College at Oneonta Alumni Association. In presenting the award, Carol Blazina stated, "This community is a better place because of her involvement, and we who know her are better people because she passed our way."
