Obituary

Bernice E. Croston, 93 of Waynesburg, OH passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Saturday, July 12, 2025.  She was the beloved wife of the late Everett "Pete" Croston who passed away September 15, 2020.

Born June 25, 1932 in Renick, WV, she was a daughter of the late Ted and Olive (Blake) Baldwin.

Mrs. Croston served a long, dedicated career as head cook at McDonald's in Hanover, PA, retiring in 1991 after 20 years. Bernice had a heart of gold, a great sense of humor and was a fantastic cook. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.  Her door was always open and a meal was always ready.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Stony J. Croston, as well as three siblings: Nell Urban, Lowell Baldwin and Leonard Baldwin.
