Known to those closest to her as Mom, Grandma, Nana, and Gigi – Bernice will be forever remembered by her husband of 55 years, Rodger Luedtke, who is at eternal rest, and their children, Karen Rzepiejewski, Michael Luedtke (Shawn Benjamin) and Deborah (Brion) Gompper. She will remain in their hearts and the hearts of her 12 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.
