Bernice was an avid lover of her family. She was fun, witty, and caring. Bernice, being a lover of nature, loved the sun and being outside. Cooking meals for her family, brought her great joy, and "boy could she burn". Selfless in her nature, she would s hare a meal with anyone who needed it. Her door was always open and she made everyone feel welcome.

Some of her favorite hobbies included putting puzzles together, sewing and knitting while sitting by the window reflecting on the great things God had done for her. Bernice returned to Calvert County on September 11, 2015, where she resided with her daughter, Gloria in Prince Frederick, MD until her passing.
