Bernice Ann was born April 8, 1919, on the farm in Valley County, near Comstock, to Kajetan and Sophie (Kapustka) Setlik. She attended a one-room rural school, District 62, Round Park. Upon graduating from the eighth grade, Bernice was employed as a clerk at the Westcott Gibbons and Bragg Store in Comstock. On Nov. 5, 1945, Bernice was united in marriage to Lumir Vodehnal at Elyria. The couple spent 62 years together until Lumir’s passing in 2007. The Vodehnals farmed east of Ord in the Springdale Township, and then purchased a farm west of Ord in Custer County. They continued to farm, and raise cattle and hogs, until their retirement in 1988, when they moved into Ord. Bernice was a member of St. Wenceslaus Geranium Church and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, where she served as chairman and circle chairman of the Ladies Altar Society. Bernice enjoyed gardening, flowers and raising baby chicks for her sisters and friends. She also enjoyed cooking, baking and sharing her kolaches with others. She spent time going to polka dances, playing cards and visiting with friends. Bernice’s children and grandchildren were truly the twinkle in her eyes, and she enjoyed their many activities. She will be remembered for her caring ways and beautiful smile.
