Bernadine “Bernie” Goodrich – Mentor

Bernie Goodrich and Caroline Wise in Phoenix, Arizona

This photo of Bernadine “Bernie” Goodrich with Caroline Wise was taken back in May of 2019. Sadly, Bernie passed away today. This wonderful lady is the person who taught Caroline how to warp a loom. Back in early 2010, the three of us met up at Bernie’s home in Mesa where Bernie gave Caroline hands-on lessons in how to dress her loom for weaving. Over the years, Caroline would see her at monthly guild meetings and I’d often run into Bernie either while dropping off or picking up Caroline and a few times at events focused on the fiber arts. How fortunate we humans are to, on occasion, know wonderful people such as Bernie who leave us with treasured memories.
