Bernice was born on April 14, 1912 in the town of Fond du Lac to John and Minnie (nee Pripke) Streblow. She graduated from Goodrich High School in Fond du Lac, Class of 1930. She then completed the teaching program at the Fond du Lac Normal School in 1931. After school, Bernice began her teaching career at Ash Grove School in the town of Fond du Lac.

Bernice went on to marry Roland Weber on June 6, 1936 in Fond du Lac, and he preceded her in death on February 1, 1987.
