Bernadette’s daily joys were as richly textured as her character. She could often be found engrossed in puzzles, unraveling their mysteries with patience and sharp intellect. Travel was her window to the world, a passion that brought her countless stories and memories she loved sharing. Cleanliness was a testament next to Godliness in her book where all things were spick and span. Her knack for word games was yet another reflection of her keen mind and vibrant spirit, one that always sought connection and challenge alike.
