Bernice was born on February 7, 1927, in Kerman, California to August and Katie Huber. She was a lifelong resident of Kerman – never living more than two miles from her place of birth. She graduated from Kerman High School in 1944.
Bernice farmed in the Kerman/Biola area for more than 70 years. She lived a full life as a wonderful mother, homemaker, and farmer. Most of all she loved her family and instilled in her children and grandchildren strong values that have served them well. She will be dearly missed and forever in their hearts.
She was a long-time active member of Bethany Lutheran Church, attending services every week, until her health restricted her to participate only in online services.
Bernice was proceeded in death by her parents August and Katie (Deobald) Huber; her devoted husband Herman Scheidt; her siblings Leo and Albert Huber, Florence (Huber) Schmall and Dorothy (Huber) Stumpf and all other classmates of the Kerman High School Class of 1944.
Bernice is survived by her children Douglas, Russell, and Kathleen; her grandchildren Doug (DJ) Scheidt with wife Kim and Herman Andrew Stidham; and great-grandchildren Ryan Scheidt, Kennedy Scheidt, Clarence (Clay) Scheidt, Kelsey Scheidt and Hunter Stidham - all of whom loved her dearly and will never forget her tenacity, wit, charm, grace (when pertinent) and undying love and caring for them.
A celebration of life is planned for Spring, 2023.
