Obituary

Bernice Alvina (Senske) Weishert was born on November 13, 1932, in Gaylord, Minnesota. She was the daughter of William Sr. and Augusta (Tessmer) Senske and the youngest of 10 children. Bernice was baptized as an infant on December 18, 1932, and later confirmed in her faith as a youth by Pastor W. F. Mueller at Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Auburn, Minnesota. She received her education through the 8th Grade at a Country School in Winthrop, Minnesota.

On June 19, 1951, Bernice was united in marriage to Melvin Weishert by Pastor W. F. Mueller at Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Auburn.

Bernice was a lifelong and active member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Auburn.

Bernice enjoyed tending to her gardens and going out dancing. She looked forward to playing Bingo at GlenFields Living with Care. Family was of great importance to Bernice; she cherished the moments shared with family, and she would especially light up when spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
