Bernice Stadtherr
d. May 4, 2019
Age 98, died peacefully on May 4, 2019 at Boutwells Landing Senior Community in Stillwater MN.
Bernice was born in 1920 on a farm near DeGraff, MN to parents Patrick and Anna Kelly. She graduated from Murdock High School in 1938 and St. Cloud State Teachers College in 1940. She received her Bachelor of Arts teaching degree from Winona State in 1969. She enjoyed a long career in elementary education, teaching in Verndale, Gibbon, Litchfield, St. Louis Park, and finally Austin, where she taught at Sumner Elementary School for many years. Bernice married Vincent John Stadtherr in 1948 and moved to Austin MN where they raised their two children and lived together for 54 years. Bernice enjoyed spending time with her family and friends - especially her grandchildren and fellow teachers. Her family and friends will always remember her stories about growing up on the farm, her Irish heritage and teaching sixth graders.
Bernice is survived by her son Mark Stadtherr and wife Joan Brennecke of West Lake Hills, Texas; her daughter, Joan Bissen and husband Greg Bissen, of Stillwater MN; and grandchildren Patrick Bissen and Kathleen Bissen Idstein and great grandchildren Henry and Nora Idstein. She is preceded in death by her husband, parents and four brothers (Francis, Hubert, James, and Robert) and three sisters (Patricia, Helen and Grace).
The family would like to thank the Lakeview Hospice team and Boutwells Landing staff, her caregiver Emily and her friends from the Terrace and Gables. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Lakeview Hospice at 1715 Tower Dr W, Stillwater, MN 55082.
