Berniece was born on a farm west of Juniata, NE to Carl and Elfreda (Augustin) Finnigsmier on March 14, 1928. She was confirmed at Christ Lutheran Church in rural Juniata.

From this union, they had five children: Chrisella, Dennis, Roxeda, Lucinda, and Brenda; seven grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren.

Berniece was a secretary serving many businesses in Hastings and most recently at Federal Land Bank, Heritage Title Company, and Adams County District Court. She was a long-time member of Zion Lutheran Church, Zion Auxiliary, Zion Lutheran Church Memorial Foundation, EX-POW, and volunteered at Mary Lanning Healthcare.
