Bernice graduated from Grand Junction High School with the class of 1938. After graduation she worked for the engineering department at Iowa State University. On October 19, 1945, Bernice married John (Jack) Carter at St. Brigid Catholic Church in Grand Junction. The couple owned and operated a restaurant, Jack’s Lunch, for twelve years. During that time six of their seven children were born. The family moved to a house on Hager Street, where the seventh child was born and the couple owned and operated a variety store and Mobile tank wagon service. In 1965 the family moved to Ames, Iowa, where they owned and operated the Carter House, an off campus residence building for male college students. The couple hosted Sunday night desserts for their residents which became a big social event. During this time Bernice began typing master’s and doctoral thesis and continued doing this for many years. The couple operated the Greyhound Bus Depot in Ames where Bernice served as bookkeeper.
