BERNICE LOUISE ROBINSON was born in Dryden on August 18, 1935. Her younger years were growing up on the Lyle Farm and helping taking care of her siblings. She lived in Oxdrift then moved to Dryden where she worked at the Dryden General Hospital for many years. She always went above and beyond her regular duties to spread kindness and support to those who needed it the most. In 1979 she moved to Ignace, Ontario where she was best known as the Avon Lady. She returned to Dryden in the 80’s and returned to work at the Dryden General Hospital. In her retirement she enjoyed travelling, gardening, visits to Grace Haven, her Grandchildren and family gatherings.
Music and dancing was a passion of hers. In the earlier years she played in a ladies baseball league. She enjoyed playing the game and going to tournaments. Bingo was another past time.
As per Bernice’s wishes there will be no Visitation.
