Suggested edit: Darlene,
I was doing research on Charles Edward Pregler who is one of Bernice (Pregler) Tronson's brothers. After I connected his Find a Grave memorial
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/159345577/charles-edward-pregler
to those of his parents, I noticed (from ancestry.com) that Bernice died in 2016. I then located her online obituary,
https://www.mountainviewtacoma.com/obituaries/Bernice-Voight-Tronson/#!/Obituary
which is somewhat more complete than the bio that you have in her memorial. Usually obits have a paragraph or sentence listing those who preceded them in death, but Bernice only mentioned her younger brother Ellsworth (born in 1926).
Bernice's parents are definitely Otto and Frances (Dombrowski) Pregler from New Ulm, Minnesota where the family grew up. They had 7 children, Stanley, Bernice, Otto Jr., Harold, Charles, Donald and Ellsworth. At this point I have found five Find a Grave memorials and am looking for Donald's, and maybe one for Ellsworth (who would be 96 this year if he is still living).
My connection is this. Charles Pregler was the first husband of my first cousin Lorna (Renneke) Pregler Ortloff. They had two children, James and Lynette (Tina). Then Lorna married her second husband and they had two children. And Lorna, like Bernice, has lots of descendants.

Sorry for the long story.
Thank you for creating Bernice's memorial.
