Irmina “Min” C. (Poepping) Meyer, 92 year old resident of Pierz, MN passed away peacefully on May 26, 2014 at the Pierz Villa surrounded by her family. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 A.M. on Thursday, May 29, 2014 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Pierz with Father Kenneth Popp officiating and Father Kenneth Brenny concelebrating. Visitation will be from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM on Thursday at the church. Burial will be at St. Joseph’s Parish Cemetery in Pierz. Min was born on April 9, 1922 to Herman and Mary Poepping in Lastrup, Minnesota. She attended a one room school house in Lastrup until they moved to Pierz where she attended one year of High School in Little Falls. Min married Harold Valentine Meyer on May 12, 1941 in St. Joseph’s Church. Min and Harold owned Meyer’s Meat and Groceries in Pierz until their sons took over. Min was a great bowler, enjoyed watching baseball games and loved camping and fishing. Min would always say you need to wear your crocheted hat and spit on the hook to get the big fish. She spent many days singing German songs with her friends in the group “The Gesundheit Singers”. Later in life she enjoyed playing Kings Corner and you better have a quarter to play and setting puzzles. She will be remembered for her ‘flutch’ cake, sense of humor, and camping in her backyard where she kept an eye on the nearby parking lot. She was always a ray of sunshine, with a smile for everyone and a laugh to go with it. Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were a great blessing to her. She loved each of them with all of her heart and they loved her too. Min was a long-time member of the Pierz American Legion Auxiliary. Min will be missed by her brother, Adlore Poepping of California; children, Tom (Netti) Meyer of Pierz, MN, Chuck (Judy) Meyer of Pierz, MN, Mary (John) Grzeskowiak of Brooklyn Park, MN; grandchildren, Suzie (John), Steve (Kelly), Jodi (Glenn), Patrick, Sarah (Whitey), Julie (Steve) and Angie (Mark); great grandchildren; Nathan, Jordan, Logan, Nicholas, Jack, Sara, Hanna, Katie, Alex, Adam, Shelby, Tyler, Alexa and Jacob; along with her extended family from the Pierz Villa. Min was preceded in death by her parents, Herman and Mary (Happke) Poepping; siblings, Colette (Braun), Rod, Audrey (Millner), and her husband, Harold. Pallbearers will be Jodi Hennemann, Jack Hennemann, Julie Prom, Sarah Funk, Angie Holst and Hanna Meyer. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Pierz Villa's Activity Fund.
