Bernice T. McNamara of Norwood, passed away peacefully on Jan. 7, 2024
Formerly of SW Phila. Bernice was a homemaker who raised six kids and then went to work full-time when the kids got out of school for 13 years at Genard Plastics in Yeadon, PA.
She enjoyed visits and phone calls from family members and friends where she would love to talk about memories of her mom and siblings. Loved watching old western movies and adored Elvis. She especially loved her Italian desserts – a bite of an Italian rum cake from Termini was her favorite! She made the best chicken cacciatore, Rice pudding and pezzelles. She also had quite the collection of shoes – her closets and under her bed were always filled with tons of different types of shoes. Her family was the love of her life.
Wife of the late Edward McNamara, daughter of the Alfoncis & Armida Carrero, sister of the late John Carrero, Jr. Ronald Carrero, Arlene McFadden.
