My Aunt Berniece was a gift to so many, as evidenced by the outpouring of tributes and love at her 100th birthday celebration last November. She was a loving mother to Dick and Diane and a surrogate mother to John, David and me. I will always remember her as the loving matriarch to our West Coast family for the past 30 years, and she sure kept us on our toes!
Her positive attributes were virtually endless:
Loving
Kind
Supportive
Thoughtful
Organized
Smart
Hard-Working
Independent
Loyal
Strong-Willed
Humorous
She had an uncanny memory that served her to the very end.
I love her dearly and will forever miss our frequent phone conversations, with the last being 3 days before she passed.

So sorry to read about her passing. I worked with her at EDD in the 70s. She was a sweet lady.
I met Bernice over 7 years ago. My husband,Tom had passed away and living in Running Springs I needed to do more than going to the movies in San Bernardino & Musicals and concerts all over. Always by myself. I saw a advertisement in the newspaper for Linedancing. I was in the beginners class and after we finished, the advanced class would start. Bernice took me by the hand & said “stay you can do this” follow me. And that’s how we became friends. I loved her & told her every time I saw or spoke with her. I called her my other Mother. Her 100th birthday party was so spectacular, just like her. I’m going to miss her smile & that twinkle in her eyes. When I dance her favorite Linedance I’m gonna dance it with all the flare & moves just like her! Sincerely, Susan Ryan
I will so miss Berniece. She came on my Docent tour at the Mission Inn in about 2011 and we became friends. Sending cards and calling me to make sure I was okay. I especially looked forward to her Christmas letters. She was an inspiration, adding joy and smiles wherever she went. Love and prayers to her family.
