Obituary notes for Bernice Ann (Spouse 1)
Bernice Ann Wegscheid, 55, of Park Rapids, Minn., died on Sunday, May 29, 2005 at her home.
Bernice was born on April 23, 1950, in Perham, Minn., the daughter of Walter Albert and Ruby Ida (Kruger) Steeke. She grew up and attended school in Frazee, MN. She graduated from Frazee High School in 1968. She went on to attend Wadena Technical School where she studied accounting.
She was united in marriage to Bernard A. Wegscheid on May 16, 1970, in Frazee, Minn. They moved to Detroit Lakes, Minn., where she raised her family. In 1990 they moved to Duluth, Minn., where they lived until 2000, when they moved to Park Rapids where she has resided since. For the past three years she has been employed by the West Forty Restaurant of Park Rapids. She enjoyed sewing, doing crafts, reading, and gardening. She was a member of the St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Park Rapids. Bernice was our family rock. Always making sure we arrived on time and presentable. Mom always found time to teach us the life skills we needed even when she was pressed for time. All of us can cook, sew, and garden because of the values and lessons she instilled. As a wife, she was always there for family and support. Never afraid to share her thoughts and always making sure we were the best we could be.
She is survived by her husband, Bernard A.
