Bernice Margaret Sommers

Passed away suddenly on Thursday,

April 10, 2014 at St. Joseph's

Hospital, in her 87th year. Predeceased

by her husband Gordon

Sommers (2009). Loving and dedicated

mother to Ross (Lois), Brian (Linda)

and Ruth Williams (Barry). Cherished

grandma to Rory (Michelle), Eric

(Amy), Jennifer Johnson (Trevor),

Mark, Kim and Nancy Williams. Will

be greatly missed by her brother

Archie Horn, better known as

"Archie's Little Sister". Loved by a

niece and many nephews. During

Bernice's younger years, she was

very athletic and loved cart

wheeling her way home from

Memorial Public School as well as

being a cheerleader (the gal at the

top of the pyramid). Bernice was

employed at the Life Saver Company

and Westinghouse a short period of

time. Bernice loved life to the fullest

and enjoyed each day as it came.

Her sense of humour and ability to

dwell on the positive things in life,

gave her courage and bravery to

make important life-long decisions

along the way. Bernice loved being

with people and was always

interested in their stories. Bernice

was a long standing member of

Olivet United Church until just

recently, joining membership at

Marshall Memorial United Church in

Ancaster in 2014. Among Bernice's

hobbies were knitting, a member of

the Canadian and American African

Violet Societies and had a true love

for pet dogs throughout her life.

She loved outdoors and especially

loved being at her cottage on

Skeleton Lake in the summer

months. Special thanks to Highgate

Retirement Residence Staff, Ancaster,

where Bernice resided for her last

year and enjoyed and loved her

caregivers immensely. Cremation

has already taken place. Memorial

visitation will be held at the

CRESMOUNT FUNERAL HOME, 322

Fennell Ave. E. on Tuesday, April 15th

from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A celebration

of Bernice's life will be held at Olivet

United Church, 40 Empress Ave. on

Wednesday, April 16th at 11 a.m.

Donations to Olivet United Church,

Marshall Memorial United Church

(Ancaster) or the Arthritis Society

of Canada would be greatly

appreciated by the family.
