Joan Bernier Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hope Memorial Chapel - Biddeford on Jan. 27, 2026.
Joan Fisher Bernier, born on July 29, 1951, to Charlie and Theresa Fisher in Biddeford, Maine, passed away peacefully. She attended Biddeford schools and graduated from Biddeford High School. Joan lived in Biddeford before moving to Saco, where she married her beloved husband, Bill Bernier.

Joan cherished her family and her cat, Katie. She found joy in solving puzzles, working on her computer, and watching westerns. Her warmth and love for those around her will be deeply missed.

She was predeceased by her husband, Bill Bernier; her brothers, Andy Fisher and Norman Fisher; and her parents, Charlie and Theresa Fisher. Joan is survived by her 5 sisters and cousin.

Services will be held at a later date. The family extends their gratitude to the staff who cared for Joan.
