She grew up happily on her parents' farm where her love of nature began. As a young woman Bernice moved to Winnipeg to work where she later met her husband. Bernice had a great love for nature and spent many hours tending to her gardens, watching wildlife and going on family walks. Mum could tell her family all the many different names of wildlife and plants. She had a great love for cooking and baking, and loved to prepare dinners for family gatherings. The entire family would like to thank her son Bruce for his devoted care giving of Mum. The family would like to thank the staff at Golden West Centennial Personal Care Home for the quality and comfort that they gave to our mother. At our Mother's request a family celebration of life will be held in the summer. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Salvation Army or a charity of your choice in Memory of Bernice.
