August 29, 1923 - December 5, 2013 Bernice Fern Clark, 90, passed away on December 5, 2013, at Canyon Lakes Rehab Center in Kennewick. She was born August 29, 1923, in Pierpont, South Dakota, to Hayden and Mabel (Lemmon) Dwight. After graduating from high school in Laporte, Minnesota, she married Earl LeRoy Clark and was a loving and devoted wife to him for over 68 years, until he passed away in 2009. Bernice and Earl were long-time Kennewick residents, having moved to the Tri-Cities in 1961, when Earl was employed by Boise Cascade Corporation. Bernice gave completely from the heart and was loved by everyone who knew her. "Grandma Clark" was a funny, educational, and adventurous grandma to her grandchildren. She demonstrated that one time by riding a moped around the block when she was 75 (She said she "Didn't know how to turn the darn thing off!"). She had a wonderful sense of humor and a big, warm laugh. Bernice was quick to praise every accomplishment of her friends and family. Over the years, this included everything from State Bowling Championships to new jobs or promotions. She also never hesitated to inform her family that their skirts were too short, they needed a haircut, or pouting was a real bad idea. Bernice had high standards and believed in raising a family who met them. Bernice was an excellent cook and her greatest pleasure was cooking for family and friends. She also participated in regional antique shows, enjoyed crocheting, music and gardening. She touched all our lives, and leaves behind family and friends who will miss her forever. Bernice was preceded in death by her husband, Earl, her parents, two brothers, Boyd and Bernard, and two sons-in-law, Bill (Carolyn) Baskett, and Jack (Sandra) Munro. She is survived by two daughters, Carolyn Baskett, of Richland, WA, and Sandra Dwight, of Shevlin, MN, five grandchildren, Ingrid Duffy (New Orleans), Kristin Myrick (San Diego), Bill Kinzig (Seattle), Mathew Lugeanbeal (Mississippi) and Brian Lugeanbeal (Missouri), and four great-grandchildren. Bernice requested that no service be held, and she said, "Don't be sad. We'll all share a table again at some future time in the Lord's house." She was buried next to Earl at Desert Lawn Memorial Park in Kennewick, WA
