She grew up in the St. Cloud area and worked for Gold Bond Stamps for eight years and later as a Beauty Consultant for Walgreens, retiring after 24 years of service. Bernee enjoyed living a private and simple life. She enjoyed going dancing, reading and most recently painting pictures for her neighbors at the nursing home.

She is survived by her siblings, Marian (Herman) Fischer, Edward (Eileen), Leona (Jack) Hibbard, Bernard, Theresa Schmidt and Richard; sister-in-law, Clara Witte; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

A special thank you to the staff of Sterling Park Health Care Center and St. Croix Hospice for their loving and compassionate care of Bernee.
