Bernice grew up in Eutaw, Alabama. After graduating from Carver High School she moved to Belvedere, California. She accepted Christ and joined First Missionary Baptist Church of Marin City. She desired to continue her education and attended City College of San Francisco and San Francisco State University.  A lover of fashion, Bernice enjoyed her salesperson role at Gump’s Department store. Upon completing her education, she secured a position in the personnel department at French Hospital in San Francisco. She advanced her career with her role at Lawrence Livermore Labs in Human Resources until her retirement.

She was an active member of First Union Baptist Church for over 40 years where she faithfully served on the Usher Board. Bernice was a fun person to be around - always smiling and never meeting a stranger.  She was committed to helping those less fortunate, often giving her last. She enjoyed shopping and always loved a great sale! She took great comfort in cleanliness, was extremely organized, witty and an avid reader. In 2005, she joined Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church and was a proud member of the May Birthday Club.
