Bernice split her time between Mandan and Mesa, AZ where she retired. She loved the sun of Arizona, but the draw of family brought her back to ND in the summer.

Throughout her life she loved spending time on crafts, projects, sewing and cross-stitching items for her friends and family. While in AZ, she enjoyed playing Bunco with new friends, but Dominos ended up being her favorite.

Bernice lived her life for her kids, their happiness was most important to her. She was so proud of each and every one of them. She didn’t want to leave us, but was grateful that she had the time with them at the end.
