Bernice May Dragland

April 8, 1958 – August 31, 2022

Bernice was born with Down’s Syndrome, and although life was not without struggles, she taught our family how to love unconditionally and how to accept all people with differences. She learned to read, write, swim and bowl and enjoyed special Olympics with her many ‘group home’ friends. Her favourite craft was rug hooking.

Bernice had such a great heart and always wanted everyone to have her gifts. Sadly, Alzheimer’s changed her life a few years ago. She passed away peacefully and leaves us with wonderful memories.

We would like to thank the Wetaskiwin Long Term Care Centre for taking such good care of Bernice over the past few years.

Bernice is survived by her sisters Betty (Manfred) and Ellen (Marvin). Nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her father, Ken, in 1981, Mother Mydra, 1998, and brother Stan, August 2022.
