It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the late Bernadette Marie Gallivan or more fondly known to many as 'Bernie' on the 12th December 2025.
Bernie's funeral service will take place on Wednesday 14th January at Scholemoor Crematorium @ 13:20pm.
Family flowers only please, however if you wish to make a donation in the memory of Bernie it will be for the benefit of Wards L6 & L7 Intensive Care Unit at Leeds General Infirmary.
Bernie is a much-loved mum to Warren, Kirsty and McKenzie, a proud nana to Esmae Grace — and of course to Prada, the only grandchild with four legs!
Born in Wakefield and a Bradford girl through and through, Bernie was one of a kind. She loved her TikToks, enjoyed a cheeky go at online gambling, and took her babysitting duties very seriously (snacks, cuddles and a bit of mischief always included).
Bernie had the biggest heart, the sharpest sense of humour and a way of making everyone feel loved — usually while also telling you exactly what she thought.
She will be missed more than words can say, but her laughter, love and spirit will live on through all of us.
Rest easy, Bernie. You’ll never be forgotten!
