Her hobbies included cooking delicious recipes and she wrote a recipe book for her children, which included all her favorite dishes that she prepared for her family. Bernice enjoyed listening to jazz, knitting hats and scarfs for her grandchildren, crocheting, and spending quality time with her family, and going on family outgoings was a major part of the Kendall family life.
