Bernice R. Kieser

August 21, 1925 - March 15, 2023

Winning the victory, Bernice R. Kieser went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.  Born August 21, 1925, she was the daughter of the late Paul and Pauline Eichorist.

The oldest member of Steele’s Chapel Christian Church, Bernice loved her church family and they mutually loved her.

A loving mother and grandmother, Bernice stayed in close contact with her family, talking with them as often as possible.  In fact, she valued her phone as a lifeline.  Over the years, Bernice found pleasure in baking delicious delicacies that her beloved family appreciated and enjoyed.

In addition to her father and mother, Bernice was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Kieser; son, Donald Andrews; grandson, Jason Andrews; two brothers: Joseph and Raymond; and two sisters: Mildred and Ruth.

Bernice leaves behind her son, Ronald Andrews and wife Georgianna; daughter, Sandra Galik and husband Terry; son, Russ Andrews and wife Diane; nine grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren; and a daughter-in-law, Kathy Andrews.  She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and her church family.

Bernice was loved by all who knew her and will be deeply missed.

A celebration of life will be held at 4:00 P.M. Sunday, March 26, 2023, at Steele’s Chapel Christian Church in Corbin, Kentucky, with Andrew Darden officiating.

Bernice will be laid to rest at River Valley Memorial Gardens in West Dundee, Illinois.

Hart Funeral Home is assisting the family.

    For the last 5 or so years, I am beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to get closer to Gram than ever before -I made a decision to leave KY a long time ago, which naturally put a gap in our relationship. But since then, my heart is filled with joy and peace making me even stronger through our conversations & amazing visits. It makes me happy to know Skyler who’s a young adult now, got to come back with me and get to know this amazing woman, experiencing her humor, strength and love we all know and cherish. Making me realize in the recent years, that I got a lot of admirable qualities like strength and independence from Gram. Also want to shine light on my Uncle Russ and Aunt Diane for being an incredible support system for Gram, allowing her to still live independently on her own at 97! She sure did live a fulfilled life!
