Nicpon, Bernadine Ann (3 April 1956 - 13 March 2022)
Beloved sister, ciocia (aunt), and friend to many, Bernadine Ann Nicpon born
April 3, 1956, died peacefully in the Lord having received her final sacraments
on March 13, 2022, surrounded by her devoted siblings; Geralyn (Nicpon) Coutts,
Gerard Nicpon, Joan (Nicpon) Buraglio, Jerome Nicpon, and two dear nieces, Megan
(Coutts) Self and Katie Buraglio. She is also survived by other cherished
family; brothers-in-law: James Coutts and Greg Buraglio; nephews: Preston Coutts
and his wife Elizabeth (Liz), and Major Ian Coutts and his wife Maria (Manya);
nephew-in-law: Charles Self (Chaz); great nephews: Otik Self, Oscoda Self,
Xasion Self, and sweet great niece: Matilda Coutts; as well as many deeply loved
cousins.
Bernadine is preceded in death by her father Stanley, and mother Stella.
She attended Lublin Elementary School and graduated from Gilman High School,
where she was active in yearbook, forensics, student council, National Honor
Society, and sports. Bernadine set and held the long-time school record in the
shot put. After graduation, she studied nursing at St. Joseph's School of
Nursing and upon graduating, the young R.N. started work at the Medford Memorial
Hospital Extended Care Unit. She loved her patients, passing up several
promotions in order to give personal loving care to those in their twilight
years.
Bernadine retired after 39 years and enjoyed faith, family, farming, and those
she met along life's journey. She had a plethora of friends, neighbors, and
former co-workers.
Having grown up on the family farm, Bernadine returned to the farm after nurses
training, and resided there until her death.
She loved the life: gardening, cooking, crafts (such as knitting and
crocheting), and taking care of her precious farm animals and wild birds (which
she hand-fed!), but especially enjoyed her loyal collie, Simion. Bernadine was
also an avid reader and a fan of Star Trek and Little House on The Prairie. She,
a Third Order Franciscan, was generous to a fault, kind-hearted, and saw the
good and believed the best in everyone. She will be sorely missed.
