Mary Margaret (Markle) Berner Obituary
Born April 24th, 1938 in Elkins, WV to the late Elmo Markle and Helen Burke, Mary was a 1956 graduate of Elkins High School and a 1959 graduate of St. Mary's School of Nursing. She met and married Dr. Charles Berner in Houston, TX. The couple moved to Miami, FL, where they raised three children.
After being widowed, Mary moved the family to Georges Mills, New Hampshire, where she bought and restored an old summer home overlooking Otter Pond. Mary was blessed with many loyal and lasting friendships, and will be remembered for her strong character, her self-reliance, and a spirit that was tough but kind.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband Charles, her son Christopher Daniel, and her brother Joseph Markle. She is survived by her sister Elizabeth Armentrout, her son David Charles Berner, his wife Amy and her granddaughter Hazel; and by her daughter, Laura Elizabeth Berner and her husband Christopher Gallo.
At Mary's request, there will be no services at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of the Fisher Home in Amherst, MA: https://www.fisherhome.org/donate.
