A resident of Riverview, N.B. since 1974, she was born in Glace Bay, N.S., July 25, 1946. Bernadette was all about family, and never asked for anything except for happiness for her entire family. She was a very giving person who always did what needed to be done to make the lives of others more joyful and easy. She loved all kinds of music from Neil Diamond to Justin Timberlake. Gardening and interior design were but two of her passions, which were accompanied with impeccable taste.
Bernadette was also passionate about her sports especially hockey and was never afraid to share her opinion on this or any other topic of conversation. Yet her No. 1 passion and life’s work was without question her three children and her four grandchildren.
