Her three men- Leo, and her two boys Alan and Jay were her life and later, after her son Jay married her daughter-in-law, Elisa, her grandson Michael and granddaughter Alexis became the sunshine of her life. From the start Bernice as model and sales representative for Rothschild’s Clothing Store downtown , helped support her husband Leo’s quest to complete law school. For Bernice and Leo, it was love at first sight and when Leo returned from World War II they began their life together. Starting in North Mpls. with the help of a dear friend Jack Rubenstein, Bernice and Leo moved into their new home. A few years later the two moved to 2811 Aquila Ave, St. Louis Park where their legacy began and continued for 45 years. Bernice was the consummate mother making sure her men received the best love and care. Alan and Jay were known for having the best made lunches in school. Bernice’s culinary skills were legendary, preparing Friday night meals and holiday celebrations. Bernice’s joy in making her family happy was most important to her.
