She was the youngest of six children and graduated from West Lamar High School in 1957 where she played on the girls' basketball and volleyball team and sang in the choir.

She met and married the love of her life, Royce Darrel Newman on November 1, 1958, in Paris, Texas. In 1968 they moved to Fort Worth when Royce Darrel was transferred with the Texas Highway Department. Bernice enjoyed gardening, canning fresh vegetables, making homemade jellies, cookies and candies.

In 1993, after Royce Darrel retired from the State of Texas, they moved to Cross Plains, Texas where they bought 80 acres and she helped Royce Darrel build their first brand new home. Over the next fifteen years before moving back to Fort Worth, she enjoyed traveling and visiting new places.

Bernice was very involved in researching the genealogy of not only her own family but also that of her husbands.

On April 29, 2026, the Lord called Bernice home to Heaven to be with her family and friends, who had gone on before her.

Bernice was preceded in death by her parents, Otha Revis and Edith Mozell Morris; brothers and sisters, Scott, James, Bruce Morris, Margie Glover and Lorene Ramsey.
