1931-2013, Burlington
Bernice Shervington, age 82, of 3 Cathedral Square in Burlington received her angel wings on December 2, 2013. She died peacefully in her sleep after a long period of declining health.
Bernice was born January 22, 1931 in New York City to Nathaniel Johnson and Louise Singleton Johnson.
She enjoyed the simple pleasures of life: socializing, food, music, travel, tv, movies, friends and family. A stroke took her independence in 2005 but not her loving outgoing spirit. She continued to enjoy life with her daughter’s care. All will remember her wonderful smile that lit up a room.
She leaves to mourn her daughter Gwendolyn, grandson Melique, great-grandchildren Sierra and Tavien, best friend Delores, and other relatives in New York and Las Vegas including Ruthann, William, Natalie, Almetha,
Nathaniel Jr and their families.
Bernice’s soul is now reunited with her parents, her sister Rosalie, her husband Clyde, her daughter Bernadette and nephew Nathaniel Sr.
