Berniece married Sherwell R. Hepfl on Sept. 17, 1953. She truly loved motherhood and being a homemaker — she actually sang when she cleaned. She was an excellent cook, baker, seamstress and gardener, from which her family greatly benefited. She will be deeply missed.

In addition to her parents, Berniece was preceded in death by her husband (Sherwell); one son, Ricky; three sisters, Betty, Barb and Doris; and one stepbrother, John.
