Bernadette Martineau Allard

My family and I were neighbors of the Allard family in Beechwood on Colonial Drive. Mrs. Allard tutored me in French and was another adult that I came to know and respect. She was a lovely lady and had such a lovely, caring personality for everyone she came in contact with. Thank you, Mrs. Allard for trying to always be a friend to me.

Bern volunteered with us in the St. Mary's Marketing Department for many years, and was a joy to work with. We were thrilled when she received the Fred Birchmore Active Aging Award and have missed her enthusiasm and spirit since her retirement from volunteering. She was an amazing person who led life to the fullest. I am saddened by her passing but deeply honored that I had the opportunity to serve with her.

What a wonderful person! She always had time to talk to me.

Mrs. Allard was my neighbor and was always very kind to me. She was a delightful person and obviously quite accomplished.

I have missed seeing her at Mass. She was an inspiration to me as she led an exercise class at the YMCA several years ago. I know she will be missed by Giles and all of her family. God's blessings to all!

I will never forget the kindness of Bernadette to an harried professor in Candler Hall. The books and memorabilia from Salvador, Bahia found good homes. Fique com Deus. Go with God.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
