Bernell Emily (Holscher) Coffman

Age 87 of Elk River, formerly of Northern Wisconsin

Passed away peacefully on March 26, 2026.

Born on May 7, 1938, in Minneapolis to parents Elmer B. and Emily (Neumann) Holscher. She worked as an elementary school cook. After she retired, she dedicated her time and love to making sure her grandchildren were well cared for and safe. She lived for them; she loved being around them and they really were “her world”. Bernell also loved having an abundance of bright and vibrant flowers surrounding her and her home. She was a talented needle pointer and would give her carefully made pieces as gifts. She lived the last half of her life in Northern Wisconsin where she was surrounded by some of the best neighbors you could ask for on Callahan Lake. They helped her whenever she needed it and she was always happy to return the favor.

A service at Saint Joseph Cemetery near Cambridge, Minnesota will be forthcoming. Please watch our website for further details.
