Bernice was born to Patricia and John Irving on March 19, 1936 on the farm at Braeside Farm, RM of Dufferin No. 190. She went to school at Rocky Lake School 1027. After school she worked on the family farm so her father could work off the farm.

She met her husband Herb in 1954 at his brother’s wedding. Herb sold Bernice’s Dad a couple horses and then he kept coming back to check on the horses (or his future bride).

Herb and Bernice were married on November 10, 1956. They lived in a trailer on the Braeside farm for a few years. Then rented a farm at Edgeley for 3 years. This is where two of their children were born; Robert John on September 2, 1958 and Peter Allan on November 12, 1960

Herb and Bernice moved to the Glenavon Farm on April 17, 1961. This is where they completed their family and added Gordon James on December 15, 1965 and Kathryn Patricia on January 19, 1967.

Bernice was never afraid of work at home and in her community, which she was very proud to be a part of. As busy as she was you could count on her to stop and put the coffee on and make sure you were fed before you left.

Her neighbors and friends held a special part in her heart and her family was EVERYTHING to her.

Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.

The funeral service for Bernice was held on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 2:00 pm in St Andrews United Church, Glenavon, Saskatchewan with Lynette Callfas officiating. Interment in the Stony Brook Cemetery followed by a community luncheon in the Glenavon Community Hall.
