Bernice was an Apostolic church member for over 50 years. "She always referred to everyone as, 'my babies!' She was pleasant and sometimes funny. She loved to praise God. Even when she was in the nursing home, her conversation was about the Lord. She was happy, didn't complain and she would join in and help us sing, and get happy and praise the Lord. There was no shame in her."
"She was a very quiet person. She, her mother and sisters were devoted members of Lighthouse Temple. She was a housekeeper and nanny. She loved to sing old hymns. She came to New Jerusalem when she moved to Madisonville, and she enjoyed serving the Lord with us."
