Bernadene’s date of death is listed as July 10, 1993, the same day her husband died when the couple’s car was swept away in a Pottawattamie County flood.
The couple was survived by three children: Bradley, Steven, and Loree.

The couple’s son, Bradley Kirk, died two weeks later on July 26, 1993. He was 37 years old.

Donald and Bernadene Sealine’s gravestone in Roberts Cemetery in Stanzel, Adair County, Iowa, lists Bernadene’s date of death as the same day as her husband’s death, even though her body was never found after flood waters receded.
