Suess on October 15, 1949, at Sacred Heart Parish, Oshkosh. Bernice was a graduate of Oshkosh High School. She was employed as a licensed beautician for many years and later was also an employee of the Wisconsin Telephone Company; however her most important role in life was that of a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was a longtime faithful member of Grace Lutheran Church where she also enjoyed volunteering as a “Reading Buddy” at Grace Lutheran School. We were blessed. Our Mom was what everyone would want their Mother to be. She was loving and caring and always placed family first. Her talents were endless. She was an exceptional cook and baker; in her kitchen were made the tastes of our life. She had an artistic flair and created hand painted art and crafts that are treasured. She was a skilled seamstress from fixing a hem to tying heirloom quilts. But above all this, her most lasting memory will be that of a selfless, devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband Harold, on June 20, 2012; daughter Melissa Kay on July 23, 1953; and her parents. Surviving are her sons, Mark (Debra) Suess, Michael (Karrie) Suess and her cherished grandson Timothy (Madeline) Suess. We would like to thank the Parkview Health Center staff for your kind and compassionate care. We would also like to acknowledge those extended family members and friends who’ve been loyal visitors to our Mother. Your visits gave her happiness and helped brighten her days. It’s so very hard to wave our last good-bye…Mom your memory will always be with us; we will love you always.
