She was preceded in death by an infant son; Terry Poling, 5 brothers, and 4 sisters.
Bernadette graduated from Van Wert High School. Charles and she lived in Van Wert until 1963 until they moved to the Dunkirk/Dola area. They raised their 7 children on the farm where she enjoyed cooking and sewing for her family. Her favorite activity was being on the dance floor with Chuck. She is now dancing with Chuck once again.
Bernadette tried to live by these words: At The end of life, what really matters is not what we have brought but what we built; not what we got but what we shared; not our competence but our character, and not our success but our significance. Live a life that matters, live a life of love.
She was a member of Our Lady of Lordes Catholic Church in Ada.
