Bernice Belloli was born on October 22, 1910 in Purcell, OK to Erin and Maude Alcorn and passed away on April 13, 2012 in Atwater, CA with her family by her side at the age of 101.

Bernice married Elgin in 1928 and was happily married to him for 51 years until the time of his death. Bernice lived in the same house that they built together the year they were married. It’s on the same property that has been in the Belloli family for over 100 years. Bernice’s pleasure in life was staying home taking care of her children and grandchildren. Their Comfortable, Traditional home was always an anchor for the entire family. She was an avid San Francisco Giants fan. If they weren’t playing on T.V. she would listen to them on the radio. Bernice was loved dearly and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
