She was the most caring person you could meet, putting her own needs aside, to do anything her family needed, anytime. Besides her busy family life, she owned her own successful business and worked as a Hospital Financial Planner. She was highly sought after in the accounting world, and often had more work than time. Bernice will be remembered for her dedication to family, brilliant mind and huge heart.
