Bernetta Eileen (Yontz) Diehl, 92, of Stamford, CT, formerly of Cambridge, OH, died Thursday, March 4, 2021, at Stamford Health-Bennett Medical Center. She was born December 29, 1928 in Lonaconing, MD to Vernon and Lovisa (White) Yontz. Bernetta attended Byesville schools and graduated from the Cambridge Business College. Referred to as Spud by her sisters and Bernie by her friends, Bernetta was energetic and hardworking as demonstrated by her ownership of the Yontz family's Dairy Store when she was in her twenties. After selling the Dairy Store, she spent many years as a devoted wife and mother before going to work as an Administrative Assistant at the Diehl Insurance Agency and the American Red Cross. Previously, Bernetta was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Cambridge, the Cambridge Country Club, and the American Cancer Society of Guernsey County, where she served as Chairman.

Known for her love of Cambridge glass, antiques, needlepoint, dogs, The Ohio State Buckeyes, her fierce loyalty, her hilarious sense of humor, and doing more by 5 am than most people did all day, Bernetta was probably best known for her generosity, her warmth and her baking.
