Bertha "Buntum" Johnson Duncan, 79, the widow of Burnett Rhett Duncan, went home to be with the Lord, Friday, May 14, 2021 at WFBH- High Point Medical Center.

Mrs. Duncan was born the daughter of Gib Johnson and Ola Forbes Johnson on January 22, 1942 in Georgetown. She was a retired employee of Georgetown Memorial Hospital. She was a lifetime member of Holy Trinity Pentecostal Holiness Church. After moving to North Carolina to be close to her family, she attended the Amity Hills Baptist Church and First Baptist Church of Archdale. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished nana, caring sister, and an adoring aunt. Her greatest pleasure was spending time with her family and she took great pride in loving, guiding, and caring for each one. She was a mother figure to many and in her arms they found comfort and support. From the day they entered her family, Mona and Rick, were her children; and her nieces and nephews she considered her own.

Burnett and Bertha were married on July 15, 1961 and celebrated 57 years together. Their home was blessed with: two children, Rhett Allan (Mona) Duncan and Tammy D. (Rick) Ikner; two grandchildren, Amber I. (Wes) Sykes and Paige I. Vigneaux; and three great-grandchildren, Autumn, Jacob, and Duncan.

Johnson and Marilyn Johnson; her extended family, Rev. Donald Duncan (Virginia), Lorraine Floyd, Elizabeth Duncan, Rebecca "Bec" Duncan Hooper (Rev. Marty); and a large number of nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by: her parents; her husband, Burnett; and four brothers, Henry Johnson, Clarence "Buddy" Johnson, Delton Gib Johnson, and Bruce Johnson; a sister-in-law, Marlene Johnson; and her extended family, Rev. Henry and Mildred Duncan, Rev. Elwood Duncan, Earl and Betty Duncan, Dorothy and Carl Merritt, D.D. Duncan, and Theron Floyd Sr.
