Bernice was predeceased by her husband of 49 years, Jack and sister-in-law Sandra Manko.
She is survived by her daughter Myra Wynne; grandchildren, Victoria (Gabe), Zachary; brother Myron; nephews, Steve (Ann), Chris (Candice).
Bernice was grateful for the Bethel Mennonite Church fellowship both in the sanctuary, in her prayer group, Women in Mission and the many personal friends made there.
Bernice was a very kind, supportive and caring friend, she was grateful for the long term friendships that she had, particularly with Lillian Martens, Rosemary Seekings, Helen Bainski.

Bernice truly believed the Hymn "I know not why God's Wonderous Grace to me He hath made known" and particularly the refrain "But I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day".
