Obituary of Bernice Robinson

Robinson, Bernice Irene (Coll) of Port Glasgow, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, the 7th of November, 2017 in her home.  She was born June 4, 1940 in Highgate Ontario to parents, the late Darrell and Annie (De Hoop) Coll.  Bernice was a loving mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.

She was survived by her brothers and sisters, Mary Robinson, Irma Coll, George Coll, Luella Localle, and Eddie Coll, and predeceased by Joe Beuckelare and  Frederick Coll Sr.  

Bernice will be dearly missed as Mother of Garnet (Carrie), Mike (Pauline Dussion), and Carman Jr. (Adele Lasson), Grandmother of Kristen, Jennifer, Karl, Tennille, Courtney, Cheyenne, Colton, Christopher, Zack, Paris, Carman (3rd), and Drew, and Great-Grandmother of Madison, Noah, Max, Mathew, Hayden, Harley, Joshua, Tynan, Taylynn and Kinley.

Bernice was a strong, remarkable woman who held her family together with such a loving bond. She was extremely supportive and proud of her children and great/grandchildren.  The combination of humour and care which she extended to everyone who entered her home, could not be matched!  

Bernice started working for Pioneer Seeds in Ridgetown on the day the plant opened.  She continued with them for over 30 years until retirement.
