She was a member of St. Francis Church, now St. Faustina's Church, Nanticoke for many years and most recently St. Jude's Church, Mountain Top.  Bernice loved her family beyond words and she traveled over parts of the state, to watch her son play baseball in all of his leagues.  She was her grandson Mark's biggest Fan, cheering him on at all of his baseball and football games.

Bernice loved her Sundays watching Nascar and her favorite Chase Elliott race.  She was also an avid fan of Penn State Football and New York Yankees baseball.  Bernice loved going for walks in her neighborhood and sitting on the patio watching the deer and birds.  She was extremely caring and a friend to everyone.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Mark A. Wnek in 2007; former son-in-law Chuck Walters; sisters Amelia Harrison, Mary Homzur, Arlene Runta and brother William Carver.

Surviving are her daughter Sharon Molecavage and her husband Charlie of Mountain Top, son Mark J.

Services will be from the Desiderio-Lehman Funeral and Cremation.  There will be no calling hours. Interment will be at St. Mary's Nativity Cemetery at the family's convenience.

The family would like to thank Dr. Bruce Saidman; Priscilla Cooney and the entire staff at Medical Oncology Associates of Kingston for their exceptional care and compassion.  They would also like to thank Allied Hospice Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for their amazing care and dedication to their mother.  The family is also extremely thankful for Kimberly Baron who was willing to come to her house and cut her hair. She was also a sweetheart to her and so gentle.
