The Bernard Family’s
Thank You
To all who have reached out to me following the passing of my beloved wife, Yvonne, I say: Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words and prayers more than I can express.
God has used you – along with my family – to be a source of tremendous strength for me during this time. On behalf of my family and myself, I extend my deepest gratitude to the staff of Dr F.H, Wigmore Regional Hospital for the tender love and care they showed Yvonne, and for so graciously accommodating the many visitors she welcomed throughout her stay.
Finally, to Michelle Ellis and the entire staff at Moose Jaw Funeral Home, we offer our heartfelt thanks for ensuring Yvonne’s final appearance was so beautiful, and for guiding our family through these difficult moments with such warmth and compassion.
May God’s abundant blessings rest upon us all.
Yvonne Falcon Bernard
Yvonne Falcon Bernard (née: Anderson) left us to be with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, on Wednesday, March 19th, 2025. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, on December 24th, 1939, “Pinky,” as she was called by those closest to her in her early days, lost her mom before she was 2 years old. However, she grew up under the care of a loving grandmother, “Mama,” and aunts, uncles, and cousins. Later, she met her “Chinese” sisters and brother of whom she was very proud.
After her Nursing/Mid-Wifery Education in Essex, England and Glasgow, Scotland, Yvonne married the “love of her life”, Earl Bernard, whom she had known from age 7. She was blessed with daughters, Faith Allyson Michele (Russel) and Lydia Nadine, and son, Mark Andrew Stafford. As time went on, she was blessed with, and proud of, her grandchildren: Kahlen (Carli), Jaden, Tyler (Megan), Jonah (McKenna), Heidi (Dawson), Jennaya (Josh), and Dominik; great-granddaughter, Arya; and also, special friends of the family, Beth Burris, Darren Chase, and Mark Branning. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital for the care provided to Yvonne.
May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her!

To Earl, Faith, Nadine, Mark and family. Condolences at this time as you honor Yvonne in this next step. I have many memories of Yvonne from years ago from dance to remembering her relationship with my parents. Most notably I can still recall hearing my mum laughing on the many phone calls she had with Yvonne. She truly made an impact. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Deepest sympathies to you and the family. Hold on to your precious memories. God bless. Lorraine and Junior (United Kingdom).
Dr. Bernard and family,
Yvonne was such a lovely, friendly lady. I had the privilege of getting to know her during Hymn Sing Sundays over the past few years.
She was always ready to share a story, and give a warm welcome as you came into the hall. My prayers are with you all as you will miss her. Be comforted in knowing she is at peace now.
Our sincerest condolences to Dr Bernard and family. Yvonne was such a beautiful woman inside and out. She will really be missed a lot. May God wrap His loving arms around you.

We were saddened to learn of Yvonne’s passing. We have fond memories of our visits to the dental clinic, always being met by the pleasant and reassuring presence of Yvonne. She was a wonderful asset to Earl in the clinic, a thoughtful and caring person. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the Bernard family.
