Lucretia van den Berg Obituary

1952 - 2025 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Lucretia van den Berg on January 23, 2025, at the age of 72. Lucretia was a distinguished and highly regarded physician, whose contributions to medicine, the field of endocrinology, and compassionate care touched countless lives. She was born in England in 1952 to South African parents, received her medical education at the University of Pretoria, S.A., in 1974, and immigrated to Canada in 1976. Lucretia established a private practice in Edmonton, specialising in Endocrinology, which she later moved to Victoria in 1992. Lucretia was predeceased by her late partner, Dr. Jerry Tenenbaum. She is survived by her son, Tyler Overton-Paszek in Victoria, BC; her sister, Dawn Rossiter in Cape Town, S.A.; and the extended Steenekamp family in South Africa. There will be a celebration of life in Victoria, BC, in March/April 2025. For details, please email [email protected]. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallgardens.com.

My Heart is so touched this Day. Lucretia expressed a most wonderful Soul. It was a privilege knowing her over the last 25 years, and benefiting from her gentle and kind ways as a friend. I will miss her and always hold her close to me for the rest of my own earthly journey. Amen!

I was diagnosed with Addison's Disease in late 2001 and Dr. van den Berg was my first endocrinologist. She left a lasting impression on me not only with her kind soft spoken bedside manner, but with her knowledge of the disease and treatment. I felt very cared for and I trusted her with my care of this disease going forward. I will miss her.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Dr van den Berg's passing. As a family physician in Victoria, I was always appreciative of her expert opinions regarding the many referrals I made over the years. She was always prompt with her assessments, and they helped immensely in caring for my endocrinology patients.
