Bernadine was born on November 24, 1927 in Orillia, Ont. In 1933, Bernardine’s family moved to Saskatchewan and settled in the Wing/Fitzgerald district near Meota, SK. After finishing school Bernardine worked as a hired girl for local

families and then as a nurse’s aide at Notre Dame Hospital in North Battleford. She met Lloyd Nash from the Hamilin district at a local dance. They were married on February 24, 1949 in the rectory of Notre Dame Catholic Church in North Battleford. She became a homemaker and they resided on the Nash family farm. They welcomed their first child Gwendolyn in 1950. They were heartbroken when their next daughter Carol Anne was born unresponsive at birth. They then welcomed 3 more children to complete their family. They resided on the family

farm until moving into North Battleford in 1992. Lloyd passed away in 2013 leaving Bernadine a widow after 64 years of marriage.
