Bernard Joseph Sciro, 77 of Leeds was called home by our Lord and Savior on Saturday, May 13, 2023. It was a beautiful homecoming as he was welcomed into the arms of Jesus. We can only imagine what a beautiful reunion it was with his loving wife of 53 years.

Bernard never met a stranger. He is known for his positive and loving attitude. He had several loves, his wife Mary Ann, his girls and anything history.

Bernard worked hard to provide but always made family time a priority. Bernard worked for Victory Products and later Golden Flake and UAB Hospital. Bernard loved to give back. He was often seen at Walmart volunteering his time to collect money for Children's Hospital.
