Berna

Biography

• Birth: 23 June 1911

• Death: 8 February 2007; Vancouver, British Columbia

• Note: MCRAE (JACKS) _ Berna Born in Vancouver on June 23, 1911, Berna died peacefully at Purdy Pavilion on February 8, 2007. She is at last at peace with her Lord and reunited with those many family members and friends who have gone before her. She will be lovingly remembered by her devoted son, his wife and her treasured grandchildren, and step-daughter, and her children. Berna was predeceased by her beloved husband, Ralph, and second husband, Ross, and by her first son, Dr. Bruce Jacks, who died in a tragic car accident at the age of 45. She had many fond memories and loved to share stories of her youth, and her years at the University of Manitoba. In 1939, she married Ralph Jacks, who became Fire Chief of the City of Vancouver. Berna was a teacher and dietician and worked at St. Paul's Hospital as the head dietician for a few years when her family was young. She and Ralph enjoyed Keats Island and built a cottage there in 1957 which is still being enjoyed by family and friends today. Berna was a founding member of Trinity Baptist Church and served there faithfully for over 40 years. She was an extraordinary person of unselfish love and devotion to all who knew her. She had friends from all walks of life and she treasured each and every one of them. Her warm and gentle spirit will be greatly missed. We thank the staff at Purdy Pavilion for their special care to Berna. A memorial service will be held at Trinity Baptist Church, 49th and Granville on Saturday, February 17, 2007 at 1:00 pm.
