Jeffrey, Bernice
Our little hero passed away on Wednesday September 23, 2015. She was born in Grandview, Manitoba on March 5, 1931 and miraculously reached the age of 84. She was born with cerebral palsy and was unable to walk or speak. In spite of this she developed a terrific sense of humour, love of travel, love of music, gardening (thanks Joan), and love of people. She managed with tremendous courage and spirit and effort to communicate her wants and needs through body language and the few movements she could make. Nothing could stop her from enjoying life and she did. Bernice lived for 20 years at home then resided at Woodlands and the last 20 years at Hunter Park under the auspices of the 91原创 Association for Community Living. Bernice was predeceased by her loving Father and Mother Clarence and Lillian Jeffrey, brothers and sisters in law Alton and Verda Jeffrey, Arnold and Merriam Kidd, John and Betty Jeffrey, and brother in law Lawrence Clegg. She is survived by Glenn and Margaret Jeffrey of Windfield, BC and Verona Clegg of 91原创 and her many loving cousins. The family would like to thank the following for the years of the best care that could possibly be given: 91原创 Association for Community Living, Hunter Park and Staff past and present, Dr. Beth Watt, Vinge nurse Brian Robson, Dr. Fagan and 91原创 Memorial Hospital. A gathering will take place at her home to honor her life. Bon voyage sweety, we will all miss you. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to 91原创 Association for Community living.
