She was born the second of 12 children on July 1, 1918, in Collins, Iowa, to William and Orva Shenkle. As one of the older children she learned very early how to sew, bake and shepherd children–three skill sets she continued to use and perfect throughout her life. She graduated from Collins High School in 1937. Berneice and husband Glenn “Tony” Brownfield were married on August 20, 1941. After returning from World War II, they chose to become longtime residents of Colo, Iowa, and a couple who were very active in the Community, Clubs, Committees and as members of the Colo EUB Church and the Colo United Methodist Church. She greatly enjoyed teaching the little ones in her Sunday School classes. Berneice’s daughter remembers her mother as someone who was always busy, whether it was baking great cinnamon rolls for her family or cakes and pies for socials; sewing Easter and prom dresses or the bridesmaid dresses for her sisters’ weddings. Then there was refinishing and upholstery of furniture; cake decorating, flower arranging, ceramic painting; crocheting, knitting and quilting; tending her vegetable and flower gardens; and, of course, her oil paintings we all have enjoyed. Berneice is survived by her daughter Sandra K. Deems and her husband Richard, of Scottsdale, Arizona; granddaughter Sonja McKiness Perez and great-grandson Michael Vincent Perez, of Phoenix, Arizona; also five sisters: Hildred Spence, of Marshalltown, Jean Day, of Marshalltown, Arlene Cripps, of Marshalltown, Shirley Nicholson and husband Rich, of Marshalltown, Sherry Meier, of Ames, Iowa, and many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. Berneice was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn Dayton Brownfield; her parents, William and Orva Shenkle and six siblings: sisters: Frances Rowe, Wilma Shenkle, Jane Simons and brothers: William “Bill” Shenkle, John Shenkle, Frank Shenkle. Visitation will be Saturday morning, October 14, 2017, one hour prior to the service at the Colo United Methodist Church.
