With broken hearts, the family announces the peaceful but unexpected passing of Bernice at the Arnprior District Memorial Hospital on Friday morning, June 7, 2024, surrounded by loved ones, just shy of her 74th birthday. Bernice was the cherished and devoted wife of Theodore (Ted) for over 51 years. Treasured Mom and best friend of Michelle. Bernice is survived by her beloved sisters and brother, Karen Melanson (late Bob), Brenda Mondor (Fern), Sharon Lamendeau (Bob), Clayton Royce (Marita), and Kim Sleeman (late David). Also survived by many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and cousins. Predeceased by her mother, Barbara Royce, and also her in-laws Helen and Douglas Brown. Bernice will be fondly remembered by the Brown Family and many friends and neighbours.
Bernice was the heart and soul of our family, always bringing warmth and joy to every gathering. She was an active member of Grace St. Andrew’s United Church U.C.W., where she formed lifelong friendships and was a pillar of support. She loved playing cards with her friends in the 707 Club and had an unending enthusiasm for Bingo. Her garden was her pride and joy, a true reflection of her nurturing spirit. Bernice had a zest for life and a love for travel, having visited England, Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Miami and and enjoyed a memorable Cayman Islands cruise. She adored family get-togethers and shopping trips, always lighting up the room with her elegance and style. Bernice’s grace, kindness, and vibrant spirit made her an irreplaceable part of our lives, and she will be missed beyond measure.
