Bernice Arlene Anderson, 88, of Negaunee Township, passed away peacefully early Tuesday morning, November 27, 2018 at the Eastwood Nursing Center.

Bernice was born September 20, 1930 in Munising to Russell and Edna (Carpenter) St. Onge and grew up in Skandia Township. She attended Marquette Schools and later earned her GED. Bernice was employed as a dietician at the Marquette Branch Prison and also at the Acocks Medical Facility. She also worked in her younger years as a butcher for the Miracle Market in Marquette.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Pauline; and six brothers: Eugene, Russell, Wallace, Donald, Alvin and Arnold.

Bernice’s family extends a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Eastwood Nursing Center, especially the East wing, and also to UP Home Health and Hospice for their compassionate care provided. And a special thanks to Marilee Burdick for being a wonderful friend.
