Donnie and Berniece were like 2nd parents to me – clear thru college. I would call my parents and get no answer then call them to talk to someone. Berniece would always give good advice and then say but you should talk to your mom . 🙂 she made the best homemade ice cream, and decorated for Christmas like I imagined Elvis and Dolly Parton would . Growing up they were the only ones that had a tinsel tree with a color wheel!! So cool!! Jesus was her foundation and even though her prayer life was private I knew I could count on her prayers. She appreciated the small bits of beauty in life. Her collections were stories that would bring about her gift of sharing that was a testament of her love for her family and friends. She would say “This one reminds me of …”, and the story began. Her Precious Moments were really chapters of her life in a dust free environment. She was Precious and will be missed. My love goes out to you Eve and Dale. Prayers going up for you during this difficult time. Goodbye Mom2. Love you.
Berniece faithfully played the piano for Confirmation Choir at Trinity for over 8 years when I directed it. She was wonderful to work with! Nanette Ellis
With sympathy. The Goller Family.
Butterfly in memory of Berniece Ann Jungmeyer
To Eve, Jim, Dale, Kim, Brandy & Nick, Josh & Kaitlyn and LeAnn & Chase, you have our sincere prayers at this difficult time. Berniece was a friend of mine for 16 years and she will be greatly missed. When visiting with her I was amazed at the amount of collectibles that she had but sincerely think she has earned her place as one of the biggest hearted, much loved Angel in her joining Don and Diane. May you find strength in your faith and in hers. She will be missed by many.
Deepest sympathy to the family of Bernice Ann Jungmeyer from Lisa Ward (David Goller’s daughter).
To the Jungmeyer Family-I am so very sorry for your loss. Berniece worked with my father for many years and everyone thought the world of her. You are in my thoughts and prayers-Valarie Goller (Kansas City)
I am so sorry for your loss, she was a up beat person and always there if you need help. She played the piano very well and did very well at our wedding. I will miss her smile and she will be missed. Emilie Crawford
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
To Eve, Jim, Dale, Kim and all of Berniece’s family we extend our most deepest sympathy and you have been in our thoughts and prayers. I enjoyed visiting with Berniece, especially at her sales and she could be funny and always had a smile. Even though we are never ready to give someone up, we do know she is smiling now to be back with Don and family. God Bless all of her families. Fern and Ray
