Bernice Riedel Obituary
November 7, 1933 - May 13, 2025
A Celebration of Life service for Bernice Riedel, 91, will be held on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at 11 a.m. at Zion Lutheran Church, Fairview, MT. A luncheon will follow the service for a time of fellowship and sharing.
Bernice Lorenz Riedel passed away peacefully on May 13, 2025. She was born November 7, 1933, in Sidney, MT. to Henry and Louisa (Leikam) Lorenz, and was the youngest of 11 children.
In 1952, Bernice married Albert Riedel, and together they built a life of farming and ranching in East Fairview, N.D. while raising three children: Randy, Cindy & Kevin.
Our hearts are full of love and gratitude for the time we were blessed to share with her. She is survived by her three children, one sister, four grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and nine siblings.

Bernice was a very loving and caring lady! I loved her like my own grandmother. Was out on the farm every summer spending time with my cousins. She will be dearly missed
