A memorial has been established. Bernice Theresa Liekhus was born January 30, 1926 on the family farm near Olean to Steve and Elizabeth (Knust) Liekhus. She attended Sacred Heart Academy at Olean and graduated from Howells High School in 1944. On June 19, 1945, Bernice married Arthur J. Kreikemeier at Sacred Heart Catholic Church at Olean, and they would have celebrated their 69th anniversary in a few weeks. The couple lived on several farms in the Snyder area, purchased a farm three miles south of Dodge in 1959, and semi-retired and moved into Dodge in 1983. Bernice was a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, Christian Mothers, Altar Society, St. Wenceslaus Prayer Line, and American Legion Auxiliary, holding offices in several of the organizations. She was a 4-H leader for 14 years and a clothing superintendent for the Dodge County Fair for many years. Bernice's hobbies included sewing and quilting, and she made a quilt for each of her grandchildren and many of her great-grandchildren. She created scrapbooks for each grandchild on their high school graduation, and each Christmas every family member could count on a handmade Christmas ornament. Bernice and Arthur loved to dance, and Bernice greatly enjoyed visiting with family and friends, especially giggling with her sisters. Survivors include her husband Arthur of Dodge; daughters Phyllis (Bob) Sellhorst of Dodge, Linda (Dan) Legband of Omaha, and Joyce (Dan) Keller of Omaha; sons Glen (Rose) Kreikemeier of Dodge and Gary (Becky) Kreikemeier of Bellwood; sisters Arlene Smeal of Dodge and Alyce Janata of Howells; sisters-in-law Edna Wieneke of West Point and Eleanor Kreikemeier of Scribner; brother-in-law Dennis (Doris) Kreikemeier of West Point; 22 grandchildren; and 21 great-grandchildren.
