Bernadette Hermann
January 5, 1948 – September 7, 2023
The peaceful passing of Bernadette Ann Veronica Hermann (nee Ilg), 75 Years, of Saskatoon occurred on Thursday, September 7, 2023, with her family by her side. Bernadette was born on January 5, 1948 to Theodore and Margaret (nee Bernauer) Ilg in Humboldt. She grew up on a farm in the Wilmont area, attending Stearns School, Pilger High School and graduating from Humboldt Collegiate Institute. She went out to Banff to work with her sister Lori, for 4 – 5 months in 1966 and then she returned home to continue her courtship with Al Hermann. Bernie and Al were married on August 26, 1967 and they made their home in Saskatoon. She worked at Safeway for a short time and then began a career with Intercontinental Packers, working in their accounting department for 35 years. Bernie loved to read and was very artistic, creating beautiful ceramics. She was an outdoorsy person, enjoying time in nature, camping and fishing with her family. Her faith was an important part of her life. They attended Mass regularly and she was an active member of the CWL. Together Bernie and Al enjoyed trips to visit family and Bernie and her sisters had some fun “girls” trips. 10 years ago, Bernie suffered a debilitating stroke which left her paralyzed, on her left side, and in a wheelchair. Through the loving care of her devoted husband Al, she was able to remain in her home and continue to enjoy a good life. Bernadette will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her husband of 56 years, Al Hermann of Saskatoon; their two sons and four grandchildren: Brynt Hermann of Saskatoon and family Jessica and Nicholas, and Todd (Jennifer) Hermann of Cochrane, AB and family Weston and Lynnae; her siblings: Jerome Ilg, Dolores “Lori” (Leo) Nienaber, and Audrey Kidd, all of Humboldt; in-laws of the Hermann family: Larry Hermann of Saskatoon, Lorraine Weyland of Humboldt and Annabelle Oddie of Calgary; and by numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Theodore and Margaret Ilg; brother Gerald Ilg; brother-in-law Terry Kidd and by in-laws of the Hermann family. The Funeral Mass for Bernadette was held on Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Peter the Apostle Church, 1121 Northumberland Ave, Saskatoon, celebrated by Fr. Clement Arthur. Interment will take place at a later date at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Cemetery, Humboldt. Donations in Bernadette’s memory may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
