–––––❖––––– BERNICE ELIZABETH WHITEHORN was born in Broken Bow, Okla., on Jan. 5, 1931. She passed away on Dec. 21, 2016 in Little Rock, Ark. As a child Bernice moved around with her family often in the states of Oklahoma and Arkansas. She left home at the age of 14 and moved to Little Rock, a city she had never been to before and in which she did not know a single soul. It was there that she met her future husband, Clifford Forrest Whitehorn. They had four children together and were together until Clifford’s death on February 8, 2013.

The best way to describe Bernice is to call her what she was, a giver. Throughout her life she gave her love, her time and her possessions freely to others.

Bernice leaves behind four children; Donna Ray, Steven Whitehorn, Daniel Whitehorn and Clifford Whitehorn, nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

A visitation will be held from 9-9:45 a.m., Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2016 in the chapel of Griffin Leggett Forest Hills, 10200 Hwy 5 N., Alexander, Ark. Graveside services will follow in Forest Hills Cemetery at 10 a.m., Luther Green will officiate.
