IOLA MARIE HENNEBRY
January 20, 1925 - September 6, 2022

Iola Marie Hennebry, 97, of Bemidji, MN died Tuesday, September 
6, 2022 at the Sanford Bemidji Medical Center in Bemidji, MN.

A memorial Mass will be held at 11:00 am, Thursday, September 22, 
2022 at St. Philip’s Catholic Church in Bemidji, Minnesota. 
Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at St. Philip’s. 
Arrangements are with the Cease Family Funeral Home in Bemidji.

Iola was born January 20, 1925, to Otto and Mary (Shanley) 
Johnson in Grygla, MN. She was raised on their farm north of 
Grygla, until 1938 when her family moved to Warren, MN. She 
attended Warren High School, where she met her future husband, 
Bob, a neighbor boy. They were married for 65 years until Bob’s 
passing in 2011. They lived most of their lives in the Bemidji / 
Cass Lake area, with the exception of 20 years in Shoreview, MN. 
Iola was an accomplished seamstress, sewing away on the Singer 
that Bob had saved for and given her. She painted landscapes, 
crocheted, and knitted, showing us her creative side. They 
traveled many miles together, staying months at a time, to the 
Canadian Rockies, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Ireland. What 
began as a curiosity of Irish genealogy, became a love of 
Ireland. This resulted in Iola and Bob making eight trips to 
Ireland, making life-long dear friends in the process.

Iola is survived by her children; Mary Lou (Roger) Klinkhammer 
of Shoreview, MN, Pat (Lloyd) Lind of Bemidji, Bob Hennebry of 
Crookston, and Maureen (Neal) Holmstrom of Bemidji; seven grand-
children, nine great grandchildren, one great-great grandchild, 
and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband Bob, her parents, 
brother Roy, and infant sister Clara Nadine.

Iola’s family would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Chan 
and Nicole Anderson at Sanford Bemidji ICU Unit for the wonderful 
care of our Mom.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to 
the donor’s choice.
