Bernie was born and raised in Dryden, Ontario, moving to Kenora in 1946, where she resided most of her life. Bernie was a shy and gentle soul, whose warmest passion was her painting (both oil and watercolor). The past number of years often found her with brush in hand, happily sharing endless hours of creativity with her fellow friend and artist, Doreen Dunford. Bernie also loved to travel and did so to many other countries, but most of all it was her family to which she was most solidly grounded. At Bernie's request, there will be immediate cremation and there is to be no formal service. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of your choice. Bernie would be pleased to be remembered exactly as you know her. In her quiet faith, she left us knowing that today is just another new beginning.
