In Memory Of Bernardine Drake
Bernardine “Bernie” Williams Drake founder of Drake Realty passed away suddenly on October 11, 2023 at the age of 64. For those of us blessed to have known, admire and respect this shining bright light throughout her life, she is celebrated by all of us as an upbeat, well grounded, fun and beautiful human. Intelligent, humble, always present and engaged, when you got to know Bernie you felt loved and a connected part of her family. She devoted her life toward helping others. That’s how she rolled. And even though you were one of countless people who shared this caring and love for her, she never failed to make you feel how important you are to her. And the focus was never about her; it was always about being there for others and doing for everyone else. She had hobbies: reading, enjoying wines from her wine room, spending time at the lake with her family, and owning/operating her businesses, but her true passion never wavered: it was always about taking care of her family.
