Theodore “Ted” Bernard peacefully entered his eternal life on January 23, 2022 with his beloved wife, Vivian, holding his hand. Ted was raised in a large family on a farm in Roosevelt, MN and met Vivian in nearby Warroad, MN. After their marriage, they settled in International Falls where Ted spent his career as a pipefitter at Mando / Boise Cascade. Ted and Vivian were married for 73 years and were blessed with five children: Delbert (Julie), Ron (Barb), Cindy (Tom), Randy and Todd. Ted thoroughly enjoyed being a Grandpa to Krista, Kimmy (Adam), Travis (Devon), Amy (Ryan), Jennie (Jerry), Steve (Krysina) and Andrew and being a Great Grandpa to Ayden Bernard, Jacob, Caleb & Madelyn Peters, Chrishion Denson, Braiden & Alyssa Eilerts. Ted loved the Lord and was a dedicated member of the Evangelical Covenant Church volunteering as a Sunday School and Bluewater Bible Camp bus driver for several decades. In retirement, Ted and Vivian enjoyed fishing, gardening, keeping in touch with relatives and friends and wintering in Florida.

Ted is preceded in death by sons Ron and Todd; parents, William & Caroline Bernard; siblings Bill, Joe, Don, Louise, CJ, Dale and Archie. Ted is survived by siblings, Wayne (Judy) Bernard, LaVerne Stanfield, Gwen Bernard, and many other relatives and friends. The family is grateful for the tender care that Ted received in the last seven months at Good Samaritan Kempton Cottage. A summer Memorial Service will be announced at a later date.
