Shortly after their marriage, Bernice and Raymond moved to California where Raymond was being stationed during his service. Bernice graduated from Oxnard High School in California in 1960.

Bernice and Raymond lived in California for four years. Here is where they started their own family, ending up with three boys. Bernice and Raymond eventually moved back to Minnesota, where they spent many years in Fridley. While in Fridley, Bernice worked in childcare. After nearly 30 years of working in childcare, she retired in Barrett, Minnesota.
