Bernice O'Driscoll

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother. Bernice O’ Driscoll aged 69 years passed peacefully away Monday May 28, 2018 at St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital, St. John’s, surrounded by the love of her loving son and close friends. Bernice is now reunited with her loving husband of 36 years, Gordon, her parents Patrick and Mary Dunne, her brothers John (Jackie), Patrick (Paddy) and Edward; parents-in-law Leonard and Annie O’ Driscoll, brother–in-law Aloysius and sister-in-law Carmel Powell and her dear friend Judith O’ Driscoll. Leaving to mourn, with many loving memories, her son Jeffrey, her daughter and son-in-law Kimberly and Kenneth Stagg and two loving grandchildren, Liam and Maggie, her two dear sisters Geraldine (Harold) Maddox and Anne (Loyola) Dinn, sisters-in law Judith Dunne, Kay Dunne, special nieces Sharon O’ Driscoll (Dunne) and Darlene Dunne, special aunt Matilda “Tillie” Williams, sisters-in-law Marie Power, Irene (Eric) Kavanagh, brothers-in-law France (Irene), Gerald, Leonard, as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and the ladies of her card club for over 45 years. Bernice was the postmaster of Bay Bulls post office for over 25 years. Whenever anyone needed a stamp, she always had a few extra quarters to pay for it. No mail was ever returned for insufficient postage. She loved to have a good chat with everyone. Despite having many battles with cancer and several strokes, Bernice always had a great laugh and was thankful for each day “She put her feet to the floor.” Visitation will be held at Ryan’s Funeral Home, Bay Bulls Thursday May 31st and Friday June 1st from 2:00-9:00pm with mass of Christian burial to take place from Sts. Peter and Paul RC Church, Bay Bulls Saturday June 2nd at 10:00am. Interment to follow at Our Lady of Mt. Loretta RC cemetery, Bay Bulls. Flowers gratefully accepted or donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation in her honour.
