Bernice Ann Borgmeier, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend, and faithful servant of God, passed away peacefully at home on June 1, 2025, just a few weeks before her 93rd birthday. She is survived by her six children, especially Donna (Ron) Asta, with whom she lived for the past several years.
She was a proud grandmother of 14 – especially Kelly (Neal) Albert, Adam Asta, and Adlen (Josh) Scheller – and great-grandmother to 13 great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind several generations of nieces and nephews, and dear friends of all ages, especially Becky (Greg) Popham and Delores Hillerich.
Bernice was kind, gentle, generous, creative, and strong. She was known for her warmth and grace, her hard-working spirit, and her deep devotion to those she loved. She enjoyed gardening, reading, praying, and playing games – especially cards with her brothers and sister – the ‘Schmuck Club’.
Bernice had a way of making everyone feel seen and loved. Whether you met her once or knew her for a lifetime, you walked away touched by her light. She was a special friend to many. Her life was a quiet testimony to love, faith, and grace. Everyone who met her felt it – and loved her.
