Bernice enjoyed an active life involving herself in several
businesses that the Flynn’s had.
She was an avid bridge player, enjoyed her crossword
puzzles, and was a lover of animals.

Canadian Club and also donated to Missions. Bernice’s greatest joy was raising her family.
She was always encouraging to her children and
grandchildren. She
will be greatly missed. The
family wishes to thank Bernice’s many friends for their kind
support. A special
