You never ask a woman her age, but once you reach a milestone like this, it’s worth noting.

Berniece Barracks is 90!

From her birth in Kanawha in 1920 to the University of Iowa for nursing school, to Europe where she nursed the troops in WW II, to her service in Hancock County as a public health nurse, Berniece has led a life filled with service.

In addition, you could not ask for a more dedicated, loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great-grandmother. We are glad she’s ours.
