Born and raised in Commerce, Alberta. She attended Normal school in Calgary. Bernice enjoyed life to the fullest; she enjoyed being a farmer’s wife and a substitute teacher. She enjoyed the trials and triumphs of raising two sons on the farm. She survived a stubble fire and later in life cancer only to succumb to a brief illness at the age of 91.
She will be remembered for her wonderful meals, money in her homemade birthday cakes, and punctuality not being one of her strong suits. A Service of Remembrance will be held at ST.
