Bernita “Bernie” Elaine Bredy
1936-2022
The family of Bernie Bredy are saddened to announce her passing on Wednesday, January 19th, 2022 at the age of 85. Beloved wife of the late Del Bredy, and loving mother of Debbie, Dale, Greg and Jeff.Bernita was born on April 15th 1936 to the great joy of Burt and Annie Johnson. Her schooling was done at Cayuga.
Bernita worked at a hardware store, Belmount Hotel, Ninette Sanitorium and at the Esso Cafe. It was at the Esso Cafe in Virden where she met the love of her life, Delmer Bredy. They married in 1957. After a couple of years into the marriage, a decision was made to move to Delmer's hometown, Laporte Sask. They lived with his parents, Herman and Caroline for a while before settling in to their own place.
Bernita taught Sunday School for Eatonia & Laporte. She also became a member of the Ladys' Aid and the Horticultural Society. Bernita loved flowers and took great pride in any she grew.
One of her loves was dancing and she and Delmer attended many dances. Once a week she would play Kaiser with three other ladies. They would alternate where each game would be played, taking turns at one another's homes.
Bernita resided in her own home until July 2020 and then became a resident of the EOL. Unfortunately her health continued to decline. In October 2021 she was taken to the Leader hospital and then transferred to the Leader home. On January 19, 2022 after finishing her lunch, she closed her eyes and died quietly.
Bernie's life was celebrated on April 30th, 2022 at St. Paul Lutheran, officiated by Pastor Scott Kopperud. A short interment was held right after the service for the family. Everyone was welcome to further celebrate Bernie's life with the family at the Eatonia Community Centre immediately following that service.
