Marian Berger Obituary
Milwaukee - Marian E. Berger (Nee D'Amico) Passed away on March 14, 2020 at the age of 91.
The wife of the late John "Jack" Berger, Marian was happiest surrounded by her family. She was never failing in her kindness and generosity to all who knew her. Marian is survived by her three children: William (Mary), Judith and Mary Beth (David Schultz); her grandchildren: Jessica Berger-Martinez (Joe), Libby and Riley Schultz; and her great-grandchildren: Olivia and Landon Martinez.
Marian was a woman of many talents. It seemed there was nothing she couldn't do. She was a source of strength, a great cook, loved to garden and fostered a family home where family and friends loved to gather. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her biggest source of joy. She held fast to friendships from high school to those she worked with at St. Mary's Hill Hospital.
Further survive by her sister, Sally Bernier, nieces and nephews who helped to make her life rich and full. All who knew her will miss her loving hugs, cute sense of humor and sweet smile.
The family would like to thank Vitas Hospice for its outstanding care during her last days.
Due to the current pandemic limitations, the family will honor Marian in a private service for the immediate family at Holy Cross Cemetery on June 12, 2020.

With great sadness, my sisters and I just learned of Marian's passing. Our hearts go out to Bill, Judy, Mary Beth, and the whole Berger family. When I was a toddler, Marian and Jack shared with our family the D'Amico duplex at 32nd and Scott in Milwaukee. Marian was a beautiful woman who grew into a beautiful lady, like her mother Millie and her sister Sally Bernier. One of the joys of Christmas for me for many years was seeing Marian and Jack and their wonderful family at my great Aunt Anna Bernier's on Christmas Day. With their widowed mother working at Junior House in Milwaukee, Marian and her sister Sally, who married our mother's cousin Rich Bernier, survived the Great Depression and WWII-- and were part of the Greatest Generation. So sorry to hear of Marian's passing. She was such a loving mother and such a beautiful, gracious lady!
