She enjoyed life in the Medicine Hat Community and was an active member of the River Valley Community Church for the past 8 years. Bernice also belonged to a local artist group and enjoyed painting with water color and oil as well as pen and ink. Her artistic skills were recognized when she won honourable mention at the Medicine Hat Stampede for her painting of her childhood farm. Spending time on that farm with her Grandma and Grandpa as well as time with family at Emma Lake, SK., were often recounted as some of her favorite memories. Bernice always had a hug ready for whoever needed it. Her caring personality and love for laughter will not soon be forgotten. A celebration of Bernice’s life will be held at River Valley Community Church (formerly Christ the King Assembly), 1101 Queen Street S.E., Medicine Hat on Wednesday, February 1, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Mark Borrows officiating.
