Bernadine Liuzza Lynch 1920-2012.

An extraordinary woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister and aunt; coming from 
the loving arms of a second generation Sicilian home, setting out to work as a 
young women and in doing so meeting the man of her dreams, Spud Lynch who she 
was married to for 32 years. 
Living, loving, laughing, raising two children, she tirelessly made every 
holiday a celebration for all family and friends. In addition, she volunteered 
at St. Raphael School; became an extremely active member of her garden club 
becoming President of Pontchartrain Garden Club. She acted as mentor to young 
girls for many years thru Pontchartrain's sponsored Little Mums Junior Garden 
Club; for those efforts she received many awards and honors. She also worked to 
promote the civic activities of garden clubs thru the Federated Council of New 
Orleans Garden Clubs, acting as its President and thereafter receiving the 
distinction of becoming a Life Member of the Louisiana Garden Club Federation, 
Inc.

Bernie died peacefully at her transplanted home in Madisonville, never for one 
moment forgetting her real home in New Orleans. She leaves a devoted son Jim 
Lynch and daughter Janet Lynch both products of her constant love and 
vigilance. Remaining also are her younger brother Marion Liuzza, her 
granddaughters Sally Lynch and Maggie Lynch Gray, and her husband, Jason Gray, 
daughter-in-law Annette Pucheu Lynch and her granddog, Issy, as well as many 
relatives and friends. Preceding her and welcoming her in death are her husband 
Spud Lynch and her brother Tony Liuzza along with many in-laws and friends.

The family thanks the nurses and aides of Haven Hospice and special thank you 
to our loving friend Trudy Hall for her devotion and steadfastness, both before 
Katrina and after. Bernie made a lasting impression on all who met her, this 
and her children are her legacy.

Memorial services will be private.
