Survived by her three children who treasured and deeply loved her; Bev Arthurs (Cindy) of Espanola, Cathy Varrin (Jim) of Lively and Jo-Anne Larose of Thessalon.

Bernice was a gentle and generous soul who left this world a better place than she found it. A woman of faith, she showed compassion and kindness to everyone she met, truly living the golden rule. Bernice was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and taught us all to find the best in people, to stick together and above all else to love one another. She will live on in the hearts of all who loved her. The family would like to sincerely thank the nurses and staff at Pioneer Manor for their loving care over the past five years.
