Bernice Monroe

Bernice Monroe, a loving mother, grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister and friend entered into eternal peace on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. She moved from Kansas City, KS to Idabel, OK and worked as a CNA for over 40 years. She was a member of the greater Pentecostal Temple until her health began to fail.

She enjoyed fishing, casting her line and soaking up the tranquility of nature. She could often be found at the bowling alley, where she embraced the friendly competition that came with the sport.
