Bernie was an animal lover – dogs, cats, rabbits and horses, and they all had a special bond with her in return. She loved flower and container gardening/landscaping. She was a painter extraordinaire, meticulous when it came to painting walls, ceilings and any other projects, creatively and artistically painting statuary, both large and small. She was an expert baker; we all loved her nut, apricot, pineapple, strawberry, and raspberry rolls. She was an awesome cook as well; some of her best dishes were potato and macaroni salads, spaghetti with a homemade barbeque sauce, lazy halupki (golumpki) casserole, outdoor picnics with kielbasa, hamburgers, hot dogs on the charcoal grill and all the fixings. She thoroughly enjoyed her nephew, Brandon’s melt-in-your-mouth barbeque ribs. She relished the company of friends and family immensely, loved two soap shows, the Young & the Restless and the Bold & the Beautiful, and rehashing the plot lines while having meals at the house once a week and also eating out on subsequent days with friends and family.
Bernie loved to marathon shop for clothes, shoes, jewelry, furniture, especially antiques and gardening/landscape items. Every new store she went into she felt compelled to buy something, after all, they needed a helping hand as they were just starting out. She would buy T- shirts or sweatshirts from every diner we went into.
