Bernice White was peacefully called to her heavenly home on February 6, 2021 at her residence in West Jordan surrounded by family. She was in her ninety-first year.
Born in Maui, Hawaii to proud parents Ida and John Gouveia on February 3, 1930.
She met her knight in shining armor, husband Harold, in 1966 and soon thereafter they married on on May 6, 1967.
Bernice lived a full life as a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She loved to cook, kept an immaculate home, and was highly skilled with crochet hooks. A couple of her favorite pastimes was gardening and fishing. Most of all, she loved her family dearly and instilled in her children strong values with words of encouragement, wisdom, and comfort that kept everyone in line, which was a must raising seven children. She adored every addition to the family line from grandchildren to her great-grandchildren, always pouring love into each one as if they were the only one, which brought her incredible joy.
Although her passing brings us great sadness, we have a bridge called Love…which will allow us to look back on brighter years and precious moments that will be with us always. These fond memories are treasured in our hearts and keeps her close though we are apart. This is a bridge of memories from Earth to Heaven above that has been years in the making to help us keep her near until we can be reunited again.
Bernice is preceded in death by her parents, Ida and John; siblings, Helen, Josephine, Lillian, Marie, Manuel, John, Dany, Alvin, and Tony; husband, Harold; daughter, Valerie; grandchildren, Misty and Justin; and great-grandchildren, Haylee and Lucas.
