Bernard Charles St. Pierre
November 25, 1931 – November 6, 2026

Bernard Charles St. Pierre, 94, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2026. He is now at eternal rest with his Lord and Savior.

Bernard was born on November 25, 1931, in St. Joachim, Ontario, Canada, to Alfred and Hattie St. Pierre. He later moved from Canada to Florida to pursue a career in construction. It was in Florida that he met the love of his life, Jeanette Schlitt. They were married on July 14, 1954, and shared 72 wonderful years of marriage.

Bernard went on to eventually establish his own successful construction business, with Jeanette faithfully working alongside him as his office manager. Together, they built not only a business but also a beautiful life and family in Vero Beach. Throughout his career, Bernard built hundreds of homes in the Vero Beach area while he and Jeanette raised their five children, two sons and three daughters.

Following retirement, Bernard and Jeanette enjoyed traveling extensively throughout the world, creating many cherished memories together. They also spent many years of wonderful summers in their mountain homes in northeast Georgia and North Carolina.

Bernard believed in giving back to his community. During his younger years, he volunteered his time with the Knights of Columbus, contributed to construction efforts at Jaycee Park, and served as a driver with the Volunteer Ambulance Squad.

Bernard is survived by his beloved wife, Jeanette Schlitt St. Pierre; his sons, Patrick (Kathy) St. Pierre and Ron (Lisa) St. Pierre; and his daughters, Lynn St. Pierre, Gail (Pete) Burg, and Sandra (Don) Wright.

He is also survived by his grandsons, Eric (Ashley) Bartolucci, Scott Wright, Ryan Wright, Peter (Emily) Burg, and Chris (Becky) Burg; his great-grandsons, Carson, Jack, and Luke Bartolucci; and his great-granddaughter, Margaret Jean Burg.

Bernard is further survived by his sisters, Juliette McDonald and Madeline (Dave) Drope; and his brother, Lionel St. Pierre.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Hattie St. Pierre; his brothers, John (Eva), Luke (Carol), and Andrew (Shirley) St. Pierre; and his sisters, Paulette (John) Shea and Leone (Gerald) Geffs.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 AM, Friday, December 4, 2026, at St. Helen Catholic Church in Vero Beach, Florida.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to VNA Hospice in appreciation of the compassionate care they provide.
