On April 19, 2026, our lovely angel gained her heavenly wings to be with the Lord.
Bernice dedicated her life to Christ at an early age joining Damascus CME in Lizella, Georgia. She continued her walk in Christ at Glorious Hope Baptist Church. Bernice was known for loving on her family and friends and attending any and every yard sale that she could, with her favorite place to visit being the “Salvation Army”. She attended Bibb County Public Schools and later dedicated her life to private sitting. A career that brought her much joy.
