Beverly \u2013 Bernadette L. (Nadeau) Primmer, 91, passed away March 22, 2020 at Care One at Essex Park in Beverly.<\/p>\n
Born in Danvers, she was the daughter of the late Joseph L. and Louise (Ouimette) Nadeau. She was 1 of 12 children, raised and educated in Danvers and resided for many years in Wenham before moving to Beverly. Bernie was one of the first employees of the former Ann and Hope in Danvers and worked for many years as head cashier. She loved square dancing and when she was a young mother, she made her six children\u2019s clothes and her own square dancing skirts and petticoats. She bowled for many years and was a member of many different leagues. The last league she played on at the age of 86 with her two daughters, Jean and Susan, she beat the pants off of many team players. A great fan of all the Boston teams, she especially loved watching the Red Sox, the Patriots and the Bruins. Bernie was fond of gardening flowers and her favorite was carnations. She loved any kind of board games, Chinese checkers, cribbage puzzles and crossword puzzles. Always ready for a card game, she was a willing participant at bingo and played the daily lottery. A kind, sweet woman, she will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Her son in law Paul always quoted:\u00a0 Bernie was the best and kindest mother in law in the world.<\/p>\n
Bernie is survived by her children, John P. Towne and his partner Sue Lee of Antrim NH; Jean Vitale and her husband Paul, formerly of Beverly and of Port St. Lucie, FL; Linda Gauthier of Beverly; Susan Towne of Beverly; Nancy York and her husband Bob of Farmington, NH; nine grandchildren; three great grandchildren; three surviving siblings, Anna Mohr of IL; Larry Nadeau and Patsy White of MA; and several nieces and nephews.
