Bernice
L. Titus, age 88, of Charlotte Vt., passed away peacefully at the
McClure Miller Respite House in Colchester with her daughter by her
side.
She
was a homemaker for many years. She also worked for several years at
the University of Vermont Medical Center as a patient transporter.
She was a loving mother and worked hard to provide for her family
along with her husband on their family farm.
Bernice
was born on August 3, 1936, in Eureka,
S.D., to Christ and Lydia Leicht. She is survived by her daughter,
Laurie, and husband Peter Curler; grandson Robert, wife Genia, and
great-grandchildren Colbie and Levi; grandson Bradley, wife Kari, and
great-grandchildren Remi, Reese, Emerson, Wylie, Leland and Carpi;

her parents, Christ and Lydia Leicht; husband, Robert Titus; their
infant daughter, Diane, and son, Jeffrey Titus; brothers Edwin,
Marvin, Milton, Delbert and Howard Leicht; and sisters Ida, Elise and

Bernice
enjoyed traveling and took many trips across country to see her
family out west. She enjoyed reading and watching the birds at the
feeder, loved a good movie or play at the theater, and enjoyed
watching her great-grandchildren participate in sporting events. She
also had a great interest in history. After her retirement she
especially enjoyed bus trips with her
husband.
Many
thanks to the UVM hospice team and the folks at the McClure Miller
Respite House. Though her stay was short, she received the best
loving care there. A special thanks also to those who visited her at
home; those visits helped to make her days a little brighter.
A
memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2025, 11 a.m., at
the North Ferrisburgh United Methodist Church.
