She was born on August 12, 1916, the youngest of ten children to John Norman Bunn and Laura Porter Bunn in Newsoms, VA. After marrying Clyde, her cherished husband of 70 years, she moved to Portsmouth. Bernice was very involved in the life of her community, her church, local schools and she often brought home blue ribbons from her garden club. She was always the life of the party at family gatherings and loved to make people laugh. Tiny and feisty, she once told her only child that she hoped when her children grew up, they would move to Japan so she would know how her mother felt that the granddaughters were either in New York or Germany. That did not stop her from visiting. She once stayed with them for five months. Survivors include her daughter & her husband, two granddaughters & their husbands, and seven great-grandchildren. A Celebration of Bernice's Life was held at 3 p.m. on Friday, September 28, at Centenary United Methodist Church, Portsmouth. Inurnment took place in Olive Branch Cemetery. Snellings Funeral Home of Portsmouth handled arrangements along with Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory, Lynchburg, VA. re 2ND cemetery photo: Decker graves slightly north of Section C center toward north boundary cemetery drive with cemetery office visible in N W corner distance; foreground adjacent Shaw graves per sisters Bernice Bunn Decker & Gladys Bunn Shaw; sister Evelyn Bunn Ferrell in this cemetery's Section J (see below siblings links)
