Berit Jurs Obituary

Jurs, Berit and Ronald, passed away on Sunday, September 26, 2010 in their hometown of Huntington Beach, California. Berit and Ronald each bravely battled cancer for many years in addition to Berit's fight with severe Alzheimer's disease. Berit was born Berit Aukland in Mandal, Norway on May 22, 1930. Ronald was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on October 19, 1930. Berit and Ronald wed in 1962 after meeting in Brooklyn, New York, and moving to Southern California where they began their full and extraordinary life together. The beloved parents are survived by twin girls, Sonja and Inger and two daughters from Ronald's previous marriage Kate and Betty Ann. Additionally, Berit's sister, Rigmor, Ronald's brother, Carlo, sister Rita; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; many family members, and countless friends grieve the loss of this wonderful couple. We will mourn their passing but will always smile and rejoice in the strength, sincerity, humor, and love of these two amazing individuals and their incredibly devoted and loving marriage.

A wonderful couple that I am proud to also call my family. They always welcomed me in their home as one of their own and I have so many fond memories. I will remember them always with the fondest and most heartfelt respect. Be well, Ron and Berit. You are together, but you will be missed.

It was a true blessing to have Ron and Berit as neighbors and they touched our lives in many ways. Always quick with a smile, a wave and a joke. (Not to mention sharing the BEST cakes we have ever tasted!) They will be sorely missed but the memories they gave us will remain. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.
