Mildred Berg

Babe was a wonderful neighbor and friend of ours, we knew her for over 50 years. Jack and June Willson & Family

May the family and friends of Mildred be comforted by the promise that God " will swallow up death forever, and will wipe the tears from all faces.." (Isaiah 25:8) What a wonderful time to look forward to when we'll never have to experience losing those dear to us in death ever again!

I met Mildred while working at Pierce Packing Company over 50 years ago. She was a great friend and co-worker. I was impressed with her friendly manner, her great sense of humor and a wonderful smile. She never forgot my birthday even after I moved to Florida. She would include with the card, a clipping about Pierce Packing , a funny joke, newspaper items or some type of ladybug item. She will be greatly missed by family and friends. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Harriet Armstrong

Our family lived on Custer Avenue in the late 40s-early 50s, and this is where we met the Bergs, who lived on Custer at the same time. Bill and I once spent an afternoon taking apart an old radio when we were less than 5 years old, but unfortunately we could not put it back together again!! I remember their dog Duchess, a lovely black labrador, if I remember correctly. After both families moved to the West side, we still saw them a lot, visited, and ate meals together fairly often. I remember that Babe used to set the ice cream out about a half hour before dessert, so it was nice and soft, easy to spoon and enjoy. She was a dear friend of our family. Mom and Babe remained good friends for life. Bob Hovland

Marilyn Lenington As a child, staying overnight was a special time for me, if it was at the Berg home. Babe was a gracious hostess. She also made sure her daughter, Bonnie, and I attended church on Sunday, even if I stayed overnight on Saturday. Only once did she display disappointment in us. We had been making faces at each other and laughing during the sermon; which caused a few turned heads. Sitting between us was her solution to the problem - and this came with a "now you two girls behave."
