Bernice’s Obituary Mrs. Bernice Lee Haire, 93 of Baxley died Saturday, June 22, 2019 in her sleep at her home surrounded by family. She was a strong woman of tiny stature and loved working the land that has been owned by her mother’s family and her late husbands’ family for over 100 years. If she wasn’t picking up pecans, she was mowing her grass with a push mower well into her 80s. Bernice loved to fish, grunting her own worms and giving the grandchildren fish food to insure a good catch with a cane pole. Gardening and quilting were some favorite hobbies but loved spending time with the grandchildren. Bernice worked at B.C. Moore’s, the Conservative Services and volunteering at the Georgia Baptist Children’s Home. She was predeceased by her husband, William Preston Haire and her brother, Preston Lynch.
