Bernice Barcelona, 87, of Vero Beach, passed away on Aug. 9, 2014.
She is survived by her sister, Georgetta Rhodes; three sons Terry Barcelona (Peggy), Richard Barcelona, and Anthony Barcelona (Terri); daughter Irene Moore (Dr. Robert Moore); and two granddaughters Debbie Walker and Sydney Barcelona.
She was preceded in death by her husband Anthony Barcelona, her parents, Rudy and Irene Saak, and her brother Rudy Saak, Jr.
She was a longtime resident of Vero Beach, having moved to Vero with her family in 1952 from New Jersey.
She was an active member of her church, the Westminster Presbyterian Church, until she suffered a stroke approximately 10 years ago which caused her health to start failing. She enjoyed life until the end by remaining at home and giving attention to her rescue dog Chico.
As per her wishes, there was not a public funeral. Her ashes will be distributed over the Atlantic Ocean at a future date by her family.
Instead of flowers, the family requests donations be made in her name to the VNA Hospice House of Vero Beach.
