Bernice B. Vandoren

August 10, 1950 — November 15, 2022

Bernice VanDoren, age 72, passed away peacefully on November 15, 2022, at Good Life Webster Manor. She was born on August 10, 1950, in Wausau to the late Edward and Mary (Adamski) Filtz.


Bernice was a woman who always put herself last.


She always was ready to feed you, listen to you and offer you a place to rest without anything in return. She was always proud of her garden and what she was able to grow and can at the end of the season. She loved to go fishing with her husband, and spending time with friends and family around the kitchen table over cups of coffee. Mom showed us what love, compassion and forgiveness was all about. She was always willing to help anyway she could, she would always go the extra mile for her loved ones. She did have a mischievous side where she loved to pull pranks and joke around. The one thing she loved the most and was very good at was being a grandma.


Bernice is survived by her children: Thomas Beson, Tammie Frost; grandson: Collin Frost; brothers: Paul Filtz, Joe (Cathy) Filtz; sisters: Jenny Kirchen, Mary Pascoe, Susan (Terry) Luscher; stepchildren: David and Gregory VanDoren; Godson, Mark Filtz; sister-in-law: Shirley and Margaret Filtz, Sylvia Beson; numerous nieces, nephews, and step grandchildren. She was further preceded in death by her husband Nathan “Red” VanDoren; former spouse but lifelong friend, John Beson; stepdaughter: Kathy Lienhard; brothers: Barney, Edward, and Frank Filtz; brothers-in-law: Nick Kirchen, Fred Pascoe, Dennis Beson; sister-in-law, Diane Filtz.
