Stavisky: Bernice, wife of Sam passes

At the dedication of the BrigGen. Robert L. Denig Memorial at the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico several years ago, the two surviving widows of the original Denig Demons participated in the unveiling. Bernice Stavisky (above) was the wife of Sam who, because of needing a medical waiver due to poor eye sight, became the 14th Demon enlisted by BrigGen. Denig at the beginning of World War II.

BERNICE RUTH STAVISKY (Age 95). On April 10, 2017. Beloved wife of the late Samuel E. Stavisky; devoted mother of Robin D. Stavisky of Palo Alto CA and Judy S. Stavisky (husband Alan Schiff) of Wyncote PA, and grandson Evan (wife Marina Oliveira) of London, beloved friend and ardent Francophile and teacher passed quietly away. Funeral services and interment at Arlington National Cemetery will be privately held.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family is asking that donations be made to: US Marine Corps Combat Correspondents Association Foundation, usmccca@cfl.rr.com, or 1-352-748-4698.
