Alice Louise Berard, 84, of Port Charlotte, Florida, formerly of Van Wert, Ohio passed away Saturday, December 17, 2011 at Charlotte Harbor Healthcare in Port Charlotte.

Born December 30, 1926 in Van Wert, Ohio to the late Goldie and Lewis Miller, Alice, a waitress for Balyeats in Van Wert during World War II, left her native Ohio and eventually settled in Port Charlotte 41 years ago. A former travel agent and owner of La Niche in Punta Gorda, FL, Alice was active in the Port Charlotte community volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring children, the Pregnancy Crisis Care Line and C.H.A.N. in Port Charlotte. Alice was a member of the American Business Women’s Association and St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, where she was a member of St. Charles Council of Catholic Women, Prayer and Bereavement Groups.

She is survived by her daughter, Susan J. Berard of Port Charlotte, and sister, Joan (Delmer) Adams of Scott, Ohio. In addition to her parents, Alice was preceded in death by sisters Ireta Harris and Myrtle Freck, brothers Glenn F. and Donald L. Miller, and her beloved husband of 47 years, William F. “Bill” Berard.

Visitation will be from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 P.M. Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at Roberson Funeral Homes, Port Charlotte Chapel. Mass of Christian burial will be held 1:30 P.M. Wednesday, December 28, at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church with committal to follow at Restlawn Memorial Gardens cemetery in Port Charlotte.

It’s a shame that we have to lose someone to realize how little we know about them. Week in and week out, we met and discussed the bible, just as Christ met and taught his followers. Yet how little we learned about your life just as Christ’s followers learned so little about his personal life. I wish we had forced you to talk more about yourself and your family. Humble people are the best people and the hardest to get to know. They are so busy caring more about everyone else that they don’t take time to let the world know about their good deeds. The bible says (Matthew 6:1-4) 1 "Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do. If you do these things publicly, you will not have any reward from your Father in heaven. 2 "So when you give something to a needy person, do not make a big show of it, as the hypocrites do in the houses of worship and on the streets. They do it so that people will praise them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. 3 But when you help a needy person, do it in such a way that even your closest friend will not know about it. 4 Then it will be a private matter. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you. The good news is because you shared those secrets with GOD alone, you’re receiving your reward for those deeds in heaven as we speak. The world lost another hero and Susan lost her mother but GOD has another child living in HIS house. Today we remember you and ask you to put a few good words in GOD’S ear about us. We’ll miss you but we’re glad your suffering here on earth is over. We’ll all miss you but no one more than Susan. Enjoy your reward you deserve it.
