She was the daughter of Rose Tennant and Frederick (Fritz) Kahlan and sister to Rose Kocsis (nee Kahlan). As a young girl and thru adulthood she was close with her two cousins Eka Diciano (nee Kahlan) and the late Jane Chiodi (nee Laute).

They were married for 61 years until his death in 2013. Bernice was a longtime employee of J.C. Penny Co., from which she retired, but her passion was her family.

She was the beloved great grandmother to Brett, Kevin III, Axel, Kole, JJ, Lincoln, Miles and Crosby.

The family traditions she established will carry forward.
