She moved to Tacoma, Washington to work and be with him while he served the remainder of his enlistment.

Bernice continued her professional career as a dental assistant with Dr.'s Watson, David and Keith Whittemore. She received her formal education through Hawkeye Technical School, retiring in 2010.
Our mom was a tireless professional and volunteer in the community of Waterloo, Iowa. Bernice started volunteering during WWII, rolling bandages for the Red Cross in Hampton. She volunteered at PTA at Edison School and served as president and on Waterloo Council of the PTA. As her daughters were growing she also helped as a Brownie and Girl Scout leader. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church where she volunteered including serving on the nominating committee of the District of United Methodist Women, chairing the church's rummage sale for more than 25 years, and active in the church circle.
She was a member of PEO chapter FE and served on the Covenant Auxiliary Board for 15 years where she served as treasurer and president. She was a member of the Women's Club since the mid-1960s where she served many roles, including chair of the committee that began the restoration of the Snowden House and was the first president of the Snowden House Foundation. She also served on the Grout Museum Board of Directors. She served in the Red Cross office for 30 years and for the Red Cross motor corps until her husband took over from her. She volunteered for the Promotion Council of Main Street of Waterloo. These activities and more culminated with the honor bestowed to herself and her husband receiving the Leonard Katoski Service Award in April 2005.
Our mom had time left over for fun of dancing, bowling and cooking wonderful family dinners. She will be missed for all she stood for and gave. She lived a very full and fruitful life.

Hammond, her parents, her sisters Evelyn Hanson (Kenneth), Wilma Dotseth (Irv), Miriam Lewis (Roger), her brothers Donald lngebritson (Sondra), Raymond Ingebritson (Bernice), Howard Ingebritson and brother-in-law Lou Weiss.
