Oct 8, 1928 – Oct 24, 2018 (Age 90)
Peacefully passed away on October 24, 2018, at the age of 90. Beloved wife of the late Dr. Kurt Berger. Loving mother of Dr. Gisela (Jack Molinard) Berger. Proud grandmother of Patrick and Margarethe. Further survived by other relatives and friends both in the United States and Germany.
Gudrun immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1950’s. She met her future husband Kurt Berger at the Milwaukee Fencing Club’s Christmas party in the late 1950’s, and they were married in 1959 and shortly thereafter had their daughter Gisela. In 1964 the family moved to Germany and in 1968 moved to Ethiopia. In 1972 they moved back to the United States and made Shorewood their home. Gudrun was very involved in her Shorewood Community, and won awards for her gardening. She also practiced and taught cosmetology in Milwaukee for many years. She resided in Shorewood until 2014, when she moved to Thiensville.
Private interment took place at Forest Home Cemetery. Memorials in Gudrun’s name may be made to the WI Humane Society, 4500 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53208.
Read MoreGisela and family, please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother Gudrun. She was a special friend to us and our family for many years. I loved her soft spoken voice...yet direct observations. She was so proud of you, Jack, Patrick, Margarethe.
