Moira Berg Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 27, 2012.
Moira Elizabeth Osborne Berg, 79, passed away suddenly on Sunday, November 25, 2012.
Moira was born in Hollywood, California on August 1, 1933 to Don Marquis & Mary Frances
Osborne. Her family moved to northern California where she met and married the love of her
life John Howard Berg, with whom together she raised a family. In 1964 the Bergs moved from
Oakland, California to Jacksonville, Florida. After raising her family Moira went back to work
managing both a Harris Dry Cleaners and a Hallmark Card Shop in Jacksonville. She then worked
for over 20 years in the computer field with AT&T, transferring to Atlanta, Georgia along the way.
She retired in 1995, and in 2001 moved back to Jacksonville, Florida where she lived out her
retirement with her cat Babyboy.

Moira was predeceased by her father & mother, her husband of 39 years John Howard Berg,
brothers Sonny & Jimmy, and her daughter Jennifer Elizabeth Berg Smith, who passed away
just 11 days prior. She is survived by her sister Mary Ann Ralsten(Doug), her daughter Mary
Frances Berg Iwanowski (Gary), her son John Howard Berg Jr., grandson John Howard Berg III,
granddaughter Erin Elizabeth Smith Rayner (Bobby) and her great-grandchildren Nicholas &
Chelsey Rayner. Moira was known for having a strong personality and it was that quality that
caused her to search and find Jehovah in her latter years. Through her faith she had complete
confidence in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ which helped her to face death without fear.

She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She will be
missed by all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers Moira would suggest donations could be made to:Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's
Witnesses or the Jacksonville Humane Society
