She was born Sept. 4, 1920, in Czar, to the late Reuben and Minnie Folks Smith. She was the final survivor of her sibling family of Ruth Snyder, Glen Smith, Edwin Smith, Paul Smith and Elizabeth "Betty" DePoy.
Bernice was united in marriage July 27, 1940, to James P. Morgan, Sr., who preceded her in death April 9, 1996.
A note of appreciation goes out to a sweet and faithful caregiver, Millie Quick.
She attended the Randolph County schools from age 4 in a one-room school in Czar and graduated from Pickens High School in 1937. She certainly needed her education in bringing up nine children. She joined the Pine Grove United Methodist Church at an early age and remained a faithful member until being called home. She enjoyed Christian work, holding many positions, especially being a song leader and adult Sunday school teacher. After ill health, she continued to read her Bible, study her Sunday school lesson and sing her joyous Christian songs. Bernice liked gardening, flowers, sending cards and especially sending to and from her grandchildren.
The family would like to thank our sister, Carol, and her family for the Christian care of mother during her waning days. Also a great appreciation to our brother, Philip, his wonderful care at a time that allowed mother to remain in her home.
The family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28, at Tomblyn Whitescarver Funeral Chapel in Buckhannon, West Virginia. Funeral services will be conducted at noon Friday at Pine Grove United Methodist Church, with viewing starting one hour before. The Rev. Clifford Schell and her son, James P. Morgan Jr., will officiate, and burial will follow in Pine Grove Cemetery.
