Bernice Russo

Born in Brooklyn, NY, a daughter of the late Albert and Sophie (Hasson) Camhi, she was a long-time resident of Dartmouth and New Bedford. Bunny, as she was affectionately known by her family and friends, was the proprietor of Twice is Nice, a clothing consignment store and volunteered at St. Luke’s Hospital over the years.

Bunny loved her family dearly. They were her pride and joy. She was a selfless woman, who always put others before herself, a quality she will always be remembered for. She had a large network of friends, enjoyed playing cards, Golf and Tennis.

She is survived by her children, Beth Russo and her partner Brian Thomas of Dartmouth, Alan Russo and his wife Rachel of Highland Park, IL and Michael Russo of Westport and Pam Lipman of Charlotte, NC; her grandchildren, Jessica Russo and her husband Brendan Walsh, Matthew Russo, Rebecca Russo and her husband David Russo and Abigail Russo and her husband Adam Wheeler; her great-grandchildren Jordan, Natan, Leor, Lev and Sadie; and a brother, Ira Camhi and his wife Barbara. She was the sister of the late Arlene Shore.
