Bernice left our world unexpectedly July 2, 2007, at age 71.
Bernice Elizabeth Hoffman was born July 28, 1935, in the St. Anthony, N.D., area, where she grew up on the family farm and attended the St. Anthony Catholic grade school.
She was married to Henry "Steve" SENNand moved to Billings in 1957. Bernice was divorced from Steve and later married Warren Raymond BELTZ.
Bernice was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Clementine Hoffman; and a sister, Luella Fischer.
Bernice is survived by her two brothers, Raymond (Jan) Hoffman of Mandan, N.D., and Clarence "Rusty" Hoffman of St. Anthony; eight children, Renae (Gary Mills) Senn of Santa Fe, N.M., Cindy Senn of Phoenix, Michael LeSenne, of Oregon City, Ore., and Pamela Senn, Mary (Fritz) Krank, Craig (Kriss) Senn, Becky Eiden and Rhonda (Les) Greshik, all of Billings; eight grandchildren, Brandon Myers, Randy (Megan) Senn, Ryan Ruby, Wesley and Dustin Eiden, Kayla and Hunter Krank, and Luke LeSenne; and three great-grandchildren, Cayde Myers, Keegan and Gabriel Senn (with two more on the way).
Bernice had a passion for her work, which included cocktail waitressing and bartending at the Bonanza Lounge, from 1966 to 1981. She also loved playing cards, which led to her working as a poker dealer. Bernice came home every night to a "full house" to take care of her eight children. Emphysema forced her into retirement, but it didn't stop her bingo and card playing, which gave her so much pleasure. Mom's house was always the gathering place for holidays filled with laughter, German food and memorable times.
Finally, our mother never met a cat she didn't love. She was a true "Cat Lady" and leaves behind three feline friends.
We are deeply indebted to our sister, Pamela, who moved in with Mom to provide excellent care throughout her long illness. Mom, even though your path has been a tough one with all your medical difficulties, you kept your sense of humor. We love you and will miss you dearly.
Flowers and cards are appreciated, however, if you prefer to make a memorial contri-bution in Bernice's name, please choose your favorite charity. Memorial services will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, July 7, at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary, 1001 Alderson Ave.

Frieda experienced many interesting and historical events during her long life; she even preformed at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games! She lived in Berlin during World War II, and then immigrated to the United States in 1954, living initially in Tampa, Fla. She taught herself English as she took care of her younger daughter and her family. Her daughter had suffered a stroke shortly after the birth of her second child. The next year Frieda and the family moved to Columbus, Ga. where she received employment at a country club.
In 1964, she and the family moved to McGrew, Neb., and five years later they relocated to Bayard and eventually to Scottsbluff.

Several years later she moved with her daughter to Jacksonville, Fla. where she was a member of the Murray Hill Presbyterian Church.
In 2002, she moved back to Bayard and into assisted living. Frieda loved company and enjoyed seeing her family, especially her grandchildren. She loved singing hymns, playing cards, knitting, and telling stories of her youth and her life in Germany.
