She loved, was loved and will be missed. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Bernie was raised in Harbour Grace, the youngest daughter of the large and loving Northcott family. She was predeceased by her father Matthew, mother Sarah, brother Andrew, sisters Loretta (Murray Payne) Beth (Dan Ash), mother-in-law Gertrude McCormack, father-in-law Charles McCormack. Bernie leaves her dear sister: Mary McCarthy (late Mike) and much loved brothers: Joe Northcott (Joan), Jim (Patricia) and Kevin (Doreen), David (Carol Ann). Sister-in-law: Janet Joyce (late Bern). Brothers-in law: Kevin McCormack (Diane), Paul McCormack (Nancy), Peter McCormack (Sandra). Special cousin: Mary Russell, as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, family and friends. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">Bernie’s was a life well-lived. She shared an adventurous spirit with Brian. The two of them were avid travelers always seeking new experiences. She was a dedicated teacher who relentlessly sought the very best for her students. But the essence of Bernie was found in her enjoyment of the simple things of life. Friendships were sustained and nurtured, her home warm and welcoming to all.  Bernie was a woman of deep faith, a faith which framed her life and brought her immense comfort during difficult times.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">As we embrace her memory and remember her beautiful smile, her consideration of others and her indomitable courage, we appreciate the depth of our loss.  We were truly blessed with her presence in our lives.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Friends may visit Fillatre’s Funeral Home, St. Mark’s Avenue, on Sunday from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm.
