She leaves her devoted husband, Willard (Johnny) Goldthwaite with whom she celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary on February 8, 2024.
Born in Cambridge, MA, she was the daughter of the late George and Geraldine Warner.
Bernadette enjoyed many cruises with her husband throughout the years and spending time at their cottage in York Beach, Maine. Her biggest joy was spending time with family. She was an avid knitter and crocheter. So many afghans, sweaters, Christmas stockings, baby booties and hats were made over the years for her loved ones to treasure. She couldn’t pass up a good word search puzzle book which kept her busy in the later years. She also loved her Wednesdays at the Dunstable Senior Center spending time with her good friends.

Tamworth, NH, Jan Yarborough (Scott), Dunstable, MA, Kim Cushion (Paul), Dunstable, MA, Denise Whittemore (Donald), Dunstable, MA, and Eric Goldthwaite (Christine), Nashua, NH.
