After graduating from Valley High School in 1965, she moved to Santa Fe where she worked for the state. Back in Albuquerque, Bernie pursued a career in the food industry as a caterer, restaurant manager, and cook. Gourmet cooking was top among her many passions and through much of her life Bernie created sumptuous feasts for friends and family. We miss our dear Bernie but her love of music, antiques, floral design, good literature, and vintage films will always live in our hearts. Funeral services are pending. Direct cremation has taken place in Albuquerque. The family expresses their gratitude to the medical staff of the Albuquerque Regional Medical Center and Vista Care who provided medical and hospice care for Bernie during the last few weeks of her life.
