Burial will be in the church cemetery. Visitation will be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. today at the church, where there will be a prayer service at 7 p.m. Pius was born in Hague, on August 5, 1925, the son of Sebastian and Natalia (Braun) Scherr. He grew up on the family farm and attended country school through seventh grade and he then farmed with his parents. Pius married the love of his life, Benedicta Wald on November 25, 1946, at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Strasburg. They moved to Riverdale where Pius worked as a cement finisher at the Garrison Dam for a couple of years. He was then hired to work as the first cement finisher on the Oahe Dam site near Ft. Pierre, S.D. After about seven years, they returned home to pursue his passion of farming. They purchased some land and later added more land and a farmstead. They retired from farming in 1987 and built a home in Strasburg. Pius and Benedicta were blessed with 70 years of marriage recently celebrated on November 25, 2016. Pius was a hard worker who lived for the farm. His passion included anything and everything involved with farming. He enjoyed working with his hands, especially woodworking and he was able to make or fix almost anything. Pius also enjoyed playing cards and was an excellent player/card shark. He had fun playing practical jokes on family and friends. Pius especially loved his family, children and grandchildren and spending time with them. Pius is survived by his wife of 70 years, Benedicta; two daughters, Darlene (Paul) Silvernagel, Minneapolis, Minn., and Melissa Hulm, Wyndmere; a daughter-in-law, Ida Scherr, Strasburg; seven grandchildren, Craig (Melissa) Silvernagel, Jodi (Eric) Guest, Heidi Scherr and Scotti Scherr, Nicole (Jaren) Novacek, Miranda Hulm and Cory Hulm; eight great-grandchildren, Sam, Max, Sebastian and Janie Silvernagel, Tyler, Zachary and Kendra Guest, Jamison Scherr and baby Novacek due in June; siblings, Sally Geisinger, Fergus Falls, Minn., Bernie Kilber, Lodi, Calif., Ray (Delores) Scherr, Minnewauken.
