Bernetta was employed by the Holiday Inn hotels in the housekeeping department for 16 years.  Her kind spirit caused others to gravitate toward her and she made many friends throughout her lifetime. For over 20 years, she met daily with a group of her friends at the McDonald’s in Indian Ridge Plaza where they would laugh and tell stories.
