Pam Bernhardson

Pamela K. “Pam” Bernhardson, 52, Grand Forks, died Monday, November 26, 2018 at Altru Hospital, Grand Forks, surrounded by her family.

Pamela Kay Larson, the daughter of David “Dave” and Kay (Shores) Larson, was born in Moorhead, Minnesota on June 10, 1966.  She was raised and educated in Moorhead and graduated from Moorhead High School in 1984.  She attended NDSU, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sociology and Business.  Pam was united in marriage to Duane Bernhardson on May 6, 1989 at Grace Methodist Church in Moorhead.   They lived in Moorhead until moving to Grand Forks in 1992.  Pam was the Branch Manager of US Bank in East Grand Forks, MN.

Pam’s favorite pastime was being with her family and friends at the family lake home on Pelican Lake, Minnesota.  Being a mom, she enjoyed following her boys’ hockey and football teams.  Her ‘hockey family’ had a wide reach across North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota, and she always enjoyed catching up with the friends she made.

Pam is survived her husband, Duane, Grand Forks, and her sons, Adam (Hailey) Bernhardson, Brady (Sidney) Bernhardson, and Tanner Bernhardson, all of Grand Forks;  by her mother, Kay Larson, Pelican Rapids, MN;  a brother, Terry Larson (Tammi), Battle Lake, MN.  She was preceded in death by her father, David Larson.

The family would like to Thank the Altru Cancer Center and Oncology Staff for all their care and support over the last 2 ½ years.  While the journey wasn’t always easy, they helped her and her family work through it.
