Berniece is the oldest child of Gordon and Josie (Piskulla) Davis. She married Rex Copp in 1923 and remained a true helpmate until his death in 1939. They have four daughters: Catherine, Rexine, Lorene and Jacqueline.
She lost her mother at the age of sixteen, buried two husbands, raised five daughters, and survived numerous strokes...what a courageous woman she was.
This beautiful lady was my maternal Grandmother. She taught me by example, "You never stop learning". She instilled in me a love for needlework. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her and wish for "one more day".
