She was born in Barberton, Ohio to Francis Armstrong Lytle, a veteran of the Great War, and Florence Catherine Jones Lytle, and grew up in Akron, Ohio. In 1944 she married Robert B.

Bernice retired from Eastman Kodak Company in 1988 after 17 years as a Traffic Assistant for the Midwest regional office, and the following year she and her husband retired to Bel Air, near where they had lived when their children were born. A member of Mountain Christian Church, she was a talented pianist and blessed with a beautiful soprano voice, and was active throughout her life in church and community music as a singer, pianist, and choir director.
