Obituary for Bernice Marie Moore

Bernice Marie (Barrett) Moore, 87, of Bar Harbor passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on June 30, 2015. Born on July 15, 1927 in Plainfield, New Jersey, Bernice was the second of three daughters to the late Marie P. (Dacey) and Walter N. Barrett.
Bernice was a devoted wife, loving mother and wonderful homemaker, who married the love of her life John C. Moore (Jack) on October 30, 1946 in Butte Montana. They made their home in North Plainfield, NJ, where they raised their 7 children. Bernice dearly loved her family, who remained the center of her life all her days. Bernice loved to cook and over the years hosted many festive and memorable family gatherings. She also liked to read, garden, swim, ride horses, and collect Longaberger baskets. She enjoyed relaxing vacations at Budd Lake NJ, the Jersey shore and Boca Raton, FL.
Moving to Milford, NJ in 1993, Bernice and Jack enjoyed a long retirement together on their small Christmas tree and horse farm. Bernice was an animal lover and adored her many pets throughout her lifetime, including her precious cats, faithful dogs, her delightful parrots and beautiful horses. In 2009 they moved to Bar Harbor Maine, where they lived with Gregory and Karen Moore and their family, who lovingly cared for them until the end of their lives.
