Born in Hornellsville, June 5, 1902, a daughter of Curt D. and Marie Antionette Nicholson Ranger, she lived on the Turnpike in Hornell, where her family started peddling milk in 1906 under the name Ranger Brothers, which later became Elmhurst Dairy.
Bernice graduated from Hornell High School in 1919 and Geneseo State Normal School in 1921. She had taught elementary education in Perry, Long Island, Endicott, and Bryant and Washington Schools in Hornell prior to raising her family. She returned to teaching at Alfred-Almond Central School, retiring in 1966.

One of the highlights of this adventure was when they attended the opening ceremonies of the 1932 Olympics.
