While in Columbus, she met the love of her life, Chuck White, to whom she married on May 12, 1962 and spent 60 fantastic years together as husband and wife. After living in Columbus during the first year of their marriage, they moved to the village of Rush Creek, the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired community in Worthington, Ohio in 1963 where they raised three wonderful sons, Craig, Michael, and Brian. After her children reached their pre-teens, Bernice went back to nursing. Over the years and she worked in many facets of nursing, including obstetrics, psychiatric nursing, and general hospital nursing. In 1980 she joined the staff of Columbus Public Schools as a school nurse where she worked for 30 years, over 25 of which were at Colerain School with neighborhood and medical or orthopedically fragile children.

She and Chuck traveled extensively literally all over the world. She also appreciated and enjoyed the visual and performing arts.
