Bernice Bertha Price, 98, passed away peacefully Saturday, March 5, 2022 in Sunnyside Health Care in Cloquet. Bernice was born on December 21, 1923 in Ely, MN where she was the fourth of seven children born to Matt and Bertha Korpi. Born a premature baby, she was baptized immediately, placed in a shoebox, and named after her mother as they thought she would not survive, but she stayed with us for 98 years. She attended Ely Public School and later earned an associate degree from Ely Junior College of which she was very proud.
