Bernadine worked as a librarian at Burnhaven Library - Burnsville

from 1969 until 1993.

Bernadine retired because of MS.

She died in her home.   She was 52.   There were no

living relatives, no service and she was buried in Illinois.

Sharon Sandgren visited her bringing comfort, companionship

and food in the last years of her life.   Sharon would call and

ask "What Restaurant do you want to go to tonight?", stopping

to pick up the meal on her way.
