Bernadine Chavez

Bernie worked at Aerojet for 15 years as the Administration Assistant for Aerojet Recreation Club and previously once worked under one of our California Assemblymen when Governor Reagan was in office. She was a devoted member of St. Patrick’s Parish and also previously the St. John Vianney Parish in Rancho Cordova.

Family and friends were Bernie’s passion and delight. She grew up in North Dakota and Minnesota and moved to California when she was just 21. She loved to host dinners and entertain her friends and family. Always was a great hostess and loved to throw unique, memorable and personalized birthdays for her children when they were growing up. She was very influential to not only her children’s lives, but also of their friends. She is to be remembered as the mother that taught us all manners and respect.

Bernie is survived by her husband Vince, her Sons Brad and Blake, her daughter Melissa and her grandchildren, Joshua, Ryan, Sierra, Darragh. She also leaves behind numerous loving relatives and friends.

Bernie’s memorial will be held at St. Patrick’s Parish, 3109 Sacramento St. Placerville CA 95667. Online condolences, photos and memories can be shared on Bernie’s Memorial Tribute page at www.chapelofthepinesfunerals.com
