Bernice was a graduate of Carnegie High School – ‘54 and Muskingum College – ’58.  She also took graduate classes at Carnegie Tech (CMU) and Chatham College. Her entire career was devoted as a dietician at Montefiore Hospital.  She was a member of Carnegie Presbyterian Church and South Hills Chorale Singers. In addition, she was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the Order of the Eastern Star Chapter 409, and the Professional College Women’s Club of Carnegie.  

Bernice was a huge fan of “General Hospital” and every year traveled to LA for their week long convention.  In fact, she was rarely home, always traveling somewhere, but family was always first for her.  Birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays, any excuse to get everyone together.   The more people that were present the happier she was. She spent her days at home making sure anyone and everyone that she knew was okay by regular phone calls, letters, and cards.  

Bernice had a deep and personal relationship with her Master, Jesus Christ.  While sitting and chatting with her, within minutes you knew that there was something different and special about her; you wanted what she had.  In Bernice's family, there are no "goodbyes", only "see you soon".
