Biography[]

Bertie worked as a cook at Camp Redwood in the 1970s. She left the camp after it had been shut down in 1970 following the brutal massacre of nine camp counselors, which had allegedly been perpetrated by a maintenance man named Benjamin Richter. Unbeknownst to Bertie, the murders were actually committed by one of the counselors, Margaret Booth.

Fourteen years later, Margaret - viewed as a sympathetic surviving victim of Richter, bought the camp site with plans of re-opening it. She brought Bertie on board as the campground's resident cook. [1]

Benjamin Richter, who had since become known as "Mr. Jingles", broke out of the Red Meadows mental hospital and returned to Camp Redwood to kill Margaret Booth.

As Mr. Jingles stalked across the campground, Bertie was finishing up with things in the kitchen. A recently hired, and somewhat neurotic counselor named Xavier Plympton came into the kitchen to warn Bertie of Richter's presence and that they had to leave immediately. When Mr. Jingles entered the dining hall, Xavier hid beneath a table. Bertie kept her composure and offered to make Richter a sandwich. She remembered that his favorite was peanut butter and jelly with the crusts cut off.

Plympton accidentally made a noise from beneath the table and Richter was now aware of his presence. He mutilated Chef Bertie, then shoved Xavier into one of the industrial sized ovens and turned it on. Bertie mustered up enough energy to release Plympton, who was severely burned. She then gestured to him to kill her and put her out of her misery. Tearfully, Xavier complied and stabbed her through the chest with a knife. [2]
