Bernadette Marie (Freiburger) Woodward, passed away Saturday, September 24, 2016 at St. Vincent Hospital.  Bernadette was born on March 13, 1948 in Rupert, Idaho.  She was the first child of Chuck and Dorothy Freiburger and their dream was to have four girls, four boys and a fireplace.  Their "dream" indeed came true.

Bernadette wanted to let everyone know that she lived a great life and has done most of the things she set out to do.  She asked to be remembered for how she lived her life.  She also asks those close to her to think of her when enjoying a beautiful summer day, just hanging out, laughing and enjoying good food, a beer, fishing, family and friends.  "I will miss each and every one of you, but as the stars twinkle in the night above and you look up; be reminded that I love you all and we will meet again some day"

She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Chuck and Dorothy Freiburger, brother Matt Freiburger and nephew's Ryan Rominger and Jeremy Jensen.  She is survived by her husband, Bob, three sisters, Patti Rominger, Debbie Moser, Carrie (Ralph) Bott; three brothers, Wally (Conna) Freiburger, Jeff (Tari Freiburger, Scott (Robynn) Freiburger.  She is further survived by a brother-in-law Mark, five sisters-in-law; Renee (Dave, Elaine, Cherie, Joy (Glenn) and Debra Kay and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.

Private services were entrusted to Burton Westlake Funeral Home, 3801 West 26th Street, Erie, PA 16506.
