Late of Royal Oak LTC, formerly of Harrow. Loving wife of the late Rudy Papke, 2011. Cherished mother to Kathy (Larry) Babcock, Celia (Ted) Klassen, Wendy (Keith) Edgington, David, Kristen (Jon Hambly) and Jana (Dennis Flaming). Predeceased by her brother Walter (1991). Bernice will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren; Tyler, Jennifer (Dave Hunt), Lise (Brian), Nicole (Kurtis Ramsay), Bradley, Cameron (Whitney) and Devan. She also enjoyed her great-grandchildren Danielle and Andrea Hunt. Bernice’s first love was family and music was a close second. She enjoyed a successful career teaching music, kindergarten, working extensively with school choirs (High School) and church choirs in the United Church. She was an organist for the United Church and played piano for the Mennonite Church in her later years. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
