Bernice passed away peacefully at the Ottawa Civic Hospital on Sunday, April 3rd 2022 in her 94th year.  She was predeceased by her parents Holmes and Grace (Stafford) Drummond.  Bernice was the beloved wife of the late Doug Wiseman.  She will be missed by her children Clifford (Marlene) Wiseman, Karen (Tom) Dunn and Robert (Julie Dixon) Wiseman.  She will be fondly remembered by her grandchildren Michelle (Kevin Mustard), Nicole (Mike Henley), Austin Lurtz-Wiseman and great-grandchildren Chase and Madison Henley.  Bernice graduated from the Brockville General Hospital School of Nursing in 1949 and remains an active member of the alumni.  She owned and operated her own private hospital (Wiseman's Chronic Hospital) from 1958 to 1983.  Bernice loved and excelled at her nursing career and nursed her husband tirelessly until his passing in 2020.  She was also a passionate gardener and loved her flowers.  Bernice loved spending time with all of her family especially in her younger years when they enjoyed the cottage on Bass Lake as well as a home in Florida.  Bernice will always be remembered for her kind heart, gentle soul as well as her love of life.  Heaven has gained another beautiful angel.
