Bernice was blessed to live a long life characterized by her deep devotion to faith and family. She and her husband, Albert, were charter members of Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish. Her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were a source of joy and pride, only to be matched by the love she held for her parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews. Bernice's witticisms, wisdom, determination, and dignity in the face of increasing physical challenges will forever be in our hearts. Our deep gratitude to family and friends for their prayers, visits, and calls, and to the staff of The Mary Culver Home and Crossroads Hospice who lovingly cared for Bernice in her final months.
