Crystal Lake - Judith Ann (Meek) Berg died in Christ on Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2025, in Barrington.

Judy was born May 14, 1940, in Danville, to Paul and Edith (Olson) Meek. She graduated from Danville High School and earned a degree in speech and hearing therapy from the University of Illinois.

On June 16, 1963, she married Henry F. ("Hank") Berg. Their nearly 63-year marriage was blessed with four children, Mitch, Molly (Mrs. Craig Musgrove), Matt (Missy) and Maria (Mrs. Randy Wiggs); as well as eight grandchildren, Allie, Emily, Ethan, Ellie, Anna, Olivia, Audon and Nora.

After years as a full-time mother, choir director and pianist, Judy returned to school to become a nurse and served as a school nurse for 17 years.
