Bernice P. Perkins

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Bernice Perkins. I had the pleasure of rooming with her in Boston last year at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Food and Nutrition Conference & Expo, 2016. In 2015, in Nashville, I had the honor of presenting her with the NOBIDAN (National Organization of Blacks in Dietetics and Nutrition) 50 Year Recognition Award. Prior to that we served on the House of Delegates at the same time. We shared many conversations about the importance of...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Deepest sympathies to the Perkins family. Ms. Perkins was a incredible woman and Dietitian. I had the pleasure of meeting her and hearing her speak. She had so much knowledge in the field of nutrition and dietetics. She will truly be missed and I thank God to have the chance to meet her and talk to her.
