So very sorry to hear of Bernices passing. I got to know her as my daughters PE teacher at Kings School - she was so kind and offered to pick my daughter up for her morning before school intermurals .....we later became friends & coworkers as I became employed by the school district. We shared many good times with the Kings Karnival & HER fabulous Sports days. Kings School was fortunate to have her - and our daughters were fortunate to have her as a dedicated teacher. We also bowled together for many years enjoying many fun evenings away from the school setting. Bernice was a gift & a wonderful giving person we were lucky to know. RIP my friend. DIANNE BUTURLA

Thank you so much for your kind words. I was Bernice’s great nephew, but Bernice was like my mother more than anything. It is so nice to read what you wrote, knowing that my aunt Bernice had a positive impact on you and your daughter, that sounds like my aunt. She would have given the shirt off her back if anyone needed it, that’s just who she was. I’m so glad you got to know her. Thank you again for such kind words. Much appreciated.

I remember Mrs. Fox, both as a physical education teacher and as a congregant at Amity Presbyterian Church and have fond, happy memories of her spirit and smile that was always on her face. Rest in peace, knowing she was loved and adored by so many students and people. Myrna Van Der Molen

My name is Shane Morgan, I was one of the closest nephews that she had, I was one of the closest people to her. I was there with her when she was first taken from her home, almost every weekend, spent more time with her than anyone else. She was my great aunt and did everything for me. She took care of me my whole life. Berniece used to tell me all the time, that she didn’t have any kids, that I was her child. That she looked at me like I was her son. & I looked at her like she was my mother. Berniece was my inspiration. Almost everything I know, was taught to me by my great aunt Berniece. She was an amazing, happy-go-lucky person, who just wanted to have fun, smile, and laugh. That’s how I remember my aunt is her always having a smile. Always loving me as much as I loved her. I still love you so much aunt Berniece.
