With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Bernadette on 11/16/24. Her life was marked by challenges, but also by love and moments of joy shared with her family.

Bernadette faced struggles in her journey but remained a beloved mother to her four children—Amy, Will, Sarah, and Tim—a proud grandmother to her seven grandchildren—and sister to Mary. While her path was not always easy, her family was a light in her life, and she cared for them in the ways she could.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bernard and Mary, daughter, Sarah, and is now at peace.

In honor of her life, the family will gather for a private celebration to reflect on her memory. To those whose lives she touched, we invite you to remember her in your own way—whether that’s through quiet reflection, sharing a memory, or celebrating the beauty in life’s imperfections.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to a charity close to your heart or to local community organizations that provide hope and support to those in need, continuing the legacy of compassion and understanding that we all strive to carry forward.

Though her struggles were real, so too were the love and lessons she left behind. May she now find peace and rest.
