Berdena was born on June 13th, 1928, the daughter of Clarence and Hazel (Thumm) Hill, in Illinois. On
September 3, 1960, Berdena was united in marriage to Lloyd “Dick” Grimm. Berdena worked as a secretary and legal secretary in many cities, including Anchorage Alaska. Berdena enjoyed camping, sewing, dancing and most of all, worshiping and spending time with the Lord. Berdena was known for her love of her children, grandchildren, great-grands, and those she recognized as “her kids.” We will miss her favorite expressions, “wowee”, “hey sweetie” and “Mamaw loves you”.
Survivors include her children, Korri Westen of Solon, Bradley (Sandy) Grimm of Cedar Rapids and
Jaleda (Marty) Schminkey of Independence; grandchildren, Derek, Brock, Travis, Ronaka, Austin,
Zebediah, Tristan, and Joziah; 11 great-grandchildren; her sister, Donna Kruckenberg of Cedar Rapids; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Hazel Hill; and her husband of 51 years, Lloyd “Dick” Grimm.
Expressions of Love can be directed to a memorial fund established to honor her memory.
