Bernadine Brown Obituary

Bernadine Brown was born in North Dakota. Her parents Josephine Thunder Pratt Shell and Roger William Shell Sr. welcomed her into the world on September 14, 1953. Bernadine was one of 6 children. The heavenly Father called her home to glory on April 21, 2025, surrounded by family and friends.

Bernadine went to Grant High School. Her greatest accomplishment was her family. She took immense pride in raising all her children and grandchildren. She was a very active part in all their lives.

Bernadine found the Lord and joined a Church. She was baptized under the leadership of Pastor Linkon Brown Jr. where she began to build her relationship with Christ.

Bernadine enjoyed many things throughout her life; we all know that she loved to fish, she was always the life of the party and lit up the atmosphere of any room she entered. Her favorite colors were blue and black. One of her favorite pastimes was sitting around with family listening to music. Bernadine was an honest, genuine, loving person. She loved people, especially her family, and having fun was a must.

Bernadine’s greatest supporters were her children; they were consistent and supported her until the Lord called her home.

Bernadine was preceded in death by parents, Josephine Thunder Pratt Shell and Roger William Shell Sr.; 3 brothers; and 1 sister.

She leaves to celebrate her memory, 1 sister; 8 daughters; 1 son; 40 grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; nieces; nephews; and a host of other family and friends.
