DELLA MERLE BERARD (NAN) 1923 - 2016 That is right 93 hardworking, fun, and traveling years. Nan was born in Woodnorth, Manitoba in 1923. She survived the Great Depression and the war. She was kind, loving, hardworking, and as frugal as they come. She leaves behind to celebrate a life well lived her daughter Adrienne Berard; granddaughters Lisa (Bill) Brandstrom, and Venise (Bruce) Riehl; and the light of her life, her great-grandson Aaron Riehl. She also leaves to mourn Ted's grandson Brandon and his mom Kim. Nan was predeceased by her mother Bena and father Frank Milburn. In war time she lost her brother Lloyd Milburn RCAF, and sadly six years ago she lost the other light of her life her husband Lucien Berard after 67 years of marriage. She was also predeceased be her son-in-law Ted Saunby. Thank you to River Ridge II for making her house a home and treating her like family. A very special thank you to Middlechurch Home and the staff of A-Appletree ward for the kindness, dignity, and caring offered to Nan and the family in her final days. To say she will be missed is a grave understatement.
