On October 20, 1943 she was united in marriage to Henry Holm in New Ulm. The couple was blessed with four children. Bernice and Henry raised their family on the family farm outside of Winthrop. Bernice enjoyed bowling, dancing, making rugs, playing cards with family, traveling, gardening and canning, embroidery, and had a great love of laughter. She was a long-time member of St. Willibrord’s Catholic Church in Gibbon then joined Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New Ulm, where she’s been a member for the last 15 years. Countless memories were made in her 100 years but she will be missed deeply by all who knew and loved her. Blessed be her memory.
