She was a homemaker for many years. She also worked for several years at UVM Medical Center as a patient transporter. She was a loving mother and worked hard to provide for her family along with her husband on their family farm.

Bernice enjoyed traveling and took many trips across the country to see her family in the west. She enjoyed reading, watching the birds at the feeder, loved a good movie or play at the theater and enjoyed watching her great-grandchildren participate in sporting events. She also had a great passion for history. After she retired, she enjoyed many bus trips with her husband. She dearly missed her husband and their many years together, filled with the love of family and shared gatherings.

Many thanks to the UVM Hospice team and the folks at McClure Miller Respite House. Though her stay was short, she received excellent care, which was greatly appreciated. A special thanks to those who visited her at home, it really helped to make her days a little brighter.
