Bernice Wolf was born on August 23, 1928, in Greenway, SD to George and Katherine (Shaefbauer) Seiler. Bernice grew up on her family's farm near Greenway, SD. She attended high school in Herreid, SD. After graduating in 1946, she attended Teachers College in Aberdeen, SD where she received a teaching certificate. Bernice went on to teach for a year at Lutz Rural School in Greenway.
On September 21, 1947, Bernice married Joe Wolf at St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Zeeland.

He passed away May of 2000. Bernice continued to live in Zeeland until January 2006, when she moved to the Strasburg Care Center.

She enjoyed listening to polka music and participated in many of the activities at the Care Center, especially playing bingo.
She was a member of the Christian Mothers, the Zeeland Senior Citizens, Lions and the American Legion Auxiliary.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, three brothers, a sister, a grandson and a great-granddaughter.
Bernice's family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff of the Strasburg Care Center for their help over the years. We admire your kindness, countless hours of care and true concern for our mom and dad's well-being while they were residents at the Care Center. Mom always said how happy she was and how kind you all were to her. You are all a tremendous asset to your chosen careers and truly make a difference in the lives of every one of your residents. Thank you for all the loving care you give. What a special place!
