From that union she is survived by her loving children Hank (Diane) Kurzynowski, Larry (Karen) Kurzynowski and Sandy Pappaianni, eight grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren; sister-in-law, Marion Sczykutowicz and brother-in-law, George Kurzynowski of Jackson, MI, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She also leaves behind her faithful fur baby, Fuji, whom she loved with all her heart.

Bernice retired from Kelsey Hayes (TRW) after 30 years of service. She lived and loved in the faith of the Lord. Her family was the joy of her life and she especially enjoyed family gatherings. She was active in St. John's the Evangelist Catholic Church. She also enjoyed trips to the casinos.

Her love touched many and will continue to be sprinkled on us from Heaven.
