Annella Agatha Koopmeiners was born on January 21, 1937 in Freeport to the late Henry and Olivia (Pohlman) Koopmeiners. She grew up in the Freeport and Melrose area where she attended school. Annella was united in marriage to Lawrence "Larry" Hollermann on June 7, 1955 at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Melrose. The couple resided in Melrose, Minneapolis, and then New Hope before moving to Little Falls in 1970, where they owned and operated the Quick-N-Clean Laundromat until 1977. Larry and Nellie purchased Lik-Nu Cleaners in 1976 and operated the cleaners until their retirement in 1995. They will be remembered for their wonderful customer service. Nellie will also be remembered for her delicious homemade bread, cookies and making donuts to share with the neighborhood children. She enjoyed crafting, playing cards, crocheting, sewing, puzzles, flower gardens, bird watching and loved to travel. Nellie's children and spouses remember the joy she would get from chasing them with a bucket of water at the family cabin. Nellie was a faith filled woman, teaching the Catholic faith to her children and sharing her faith in her everyday life with those she met. She was a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Christian Mothers, quilting group and made the dressing for church festivals for several years. Larry and Nellie took care of votive candles for 20 years at the parish.
