Bernice was a member of the Coles Island Pentecostal Church. She was not your typical mom she enjoyed snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, the great outdoors and teaching her grandchildren. In 2003 Bernice was the only one her in family to get her moose license. This fall she went partridge hunting and got her bird. She enjoyed the company of others and loved to listen to others talk and often found she was related to someone. Anyone who came to visit Bernice couldn't get out the door with out having a meal. Even if you had just eaten, you would have to try her cooking. Mom just waited for hunting season to come around. She loved wild game and Green beans and potatoes. Arrangements were entrusted to the care of Wallace Funeral Home, Sussex, from where visitation was held. Funeral service was held from Coles Island Pentecostal Church on January 15, 2004 with Pastors Nancy and Jason McCormaick officiating. The Musical Selections
