I had the pleasure of meeting Wilberta a few times as a student of Pams traveling back and forth from sports tournaments that were held in Fredericton, as she stopped in for a short hello. She was a wonderful, warm, and always smiling lady. I am happy to have met her.

To the family of Wilberta Fowler Topple. She was a very lovely lady and had a beautiful family. Way back years ago I worked for your mom, cleaning and some baking for the family. It was at the time when the last baby was born. After the baby came along and she needed to go back to work, she hired a nanny from Holland. Another lovely lady! I would have liked to stayed on but she needed a live in person plus I had my own little family at the time ages 2 & 4. I stayed until the lady from Holland arrived and settled in. I have great memories of working there. To the family my deepest sympathy goes out to you all. May your beautiful mom rest in peace. So very sorry for your loss. God Bless you all.. xo

When we remember Roberta's passing, a verse of scripture comes to mind, "Precious in the sight of then Lord is the death of His saints." (Ps.116:15) We remember Roberta as someone who always had a heart for the Lord. Our prayer is that this will bring a great deal of comfort to members of her family. Blessings.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I was a student of your mom in 1975 at George Street and she switched from Mrs Fowler to Mrs Topple. Over the years We occasionally crossed paths and she always took the time to talk and always remembered me So nice to hear of her strong Christian faith and we will meet again in heaven Andy Connors Classic Stoves and Fireplaces

My sincere condolences to all of Wilberta's family. My childhood was heavily influenced through spending countless hours at her house in Nashwaaksis after Rock and I became close friends in Junior High. Wilberta was a positive force through those years and, as her obituary eluded to, she had a way of navigating with purpose and set a high standard for her children and those around her, and as I was at her house often, she spent a lot of time trying to keep my, lets say" adventurous spirit" in check as much as for Rocky's benefit as mine I'm sure! It was only years later when I hit that period of life when we all come to realize how smart the "grown ups" really were, that I could understand how sincere her intentions were, and I grew to appreciate the way she reinforced education as a gateway to a better future. I have fond memories of those years and in a very real way, the Fowler house was a second home to me. Even after she met and married Eric, and moved to Silverwood, Rocky and I continued to be close and Wilberta and I crossed paths many times through the years. To all of the family, take comfort in her life well lived and the countless memories that time cannot erase. Paul Harding

To the extended Topple and Fowler families, we join with you in the grief of saying goodbye to such a stalwart, faithful, amazing, resilient, humorous, unique, loving human being as your mom and grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be missed by so many people and time and eternity will reveal the impact she had on the lives of people, especially the students she influenced, so profoundly. Our extended family particularly enjoyed rubbing elbows alongside her in our nutritional supplement business for the greater part of the last 26 years after her retirement from teaching. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and although we will miss her so much, we know she is having a grand reunion in Heaven and is now cheering us on down here! Much love from Debbie (Smith) and Roger Kierstead and family.

Wilberta was a good friend and very kind to my mom(Inez Wyman). They took many road trips together. My mom especially enjoyed visiting Wiberta’s sister Jean, her daughter Pam in Moncton, the old homestead and the cottage at the lake. They had a lot of great laughs. I pray your family will be blessed with God’s peace.

To the family of Wilberta, I had the delight of meeting "Bertie" about 25 years ago. We use to meet for coffee at Tims and have lots of laughs and discussions. She was a dear friend and I cherished the times we had together. She was a great gal with a wonderful sense of humor and passion. God bless you all and we will meet Bertie again soon over the rainbow! Colleen Home

On behalf of that which remains of Clan MacInnis (Bath), I extended condolences to Wilberta's family on her passing. As a small girl, I used to 'help' Floyd when he'd come to the house to do small jobs for Mom. I have vague recollection of his passing and Dad's sadness that, as a physician, he couldn't save him. They were a valuable contribution to the fabric of the Bath community. Both are remembered and missed.

Dear Family of Wilberta, It was with sadness that I learned of my dear friend's, and longtime colleague's, passing. I first met Wilberta during my first year teaching assignment in Bath, NB. During that time she was a tremendous support to me. I always remembered her kindness. In later years we reconnected at FHS where we taught in the same Department. I was always amazed at her tremendous energy and her expertise in managing such a lovely, large family. An excellent teacher, she was always smiling and , regardless of the inevitable stress, she was always pleasant. She was a devout Christian whose faith was her benchmark. My deepest sympathy to you all as you remember your beautiful mother and grandmother. Remembering your favorite poem, Bert, you have now" Crossed the Bar" and are now at rest. Love and Prayers, Diane Flynn
