Anne F. (Hablewitz) Berg

I am Anne Berg, and this is my obit. I was born in Wausau on August 25, 1935, to Marie and George Hablewitz. I died on Sunday, May 26, 2024, at my home surrounded by my family. I went to St. Mary’s Grade School in Wausau, Our Lady of the Holy Cross High School in Merrill, and Cardinal Stritch College in Milwaukee, but none of them are here anymore and that is ok, because neither am I.

On June 23, 1956, I married Gerald L (Jerry) Berg at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Wausau. He was a good guy, he put up with me for 50 years. We had four children, Douglas, Jan, Penny, and David.

I worked at GTE for three years until we had the kids. I stayed at home until the kids went to school. I went back to work in 1968. At that time, I worked for Bartell’s Presto Call and now AnSer. I worked there until the present time.

In 1974, Jerry and I owned and operated Berg’s Tastee Delight on Ross Avenue in Schofield. We ran a successful family business for 12 years. Our stand is not there anymore, and that is ok because neither am I.

I loved to cook and bake. Penny and I made Christmas cookies for years and gave them to family and friends to enjoy. I loved playing bridge with my friends, and cards and board games with my family.

Jerry and I spent many summers fishing with Joe and Shirley Gutowski on the Chippewa Flowage in Hayward. I still have my wonderful friends from grade school, Barb Christian and Donna Wohlfahrt, and high school friends, Marcia Brandstetter, Ruth Butalla, and Marlene Otto.

I am preceded in death by my husband, Gerald Berg; my parents, George and Marie Hablewitz; loving son, Douglas G. Berg; my sister, Georgine Goldberg; my mother and father-in-law Otto and Catherine Berg; special first cousin, Jackie Engman.

I am survived by my children, Jan Peppers, Rothschild, Penny Berg, Wausau, David G. (Cheryl) Berg, Wausau; grandchildren, Adam (Kris) Berg, Aurora, CO, Sara (Daniel) Berg, Madison, Danielle (Nathan) Dobeck, Kronenwetter, Carly (Travis) Barker, Merrill; great grandchildren, Madilyn Dobeck and Cameron Dobeck, Kronenwetter; my favorite cousins, Jason Handrick, Edgar, Ted Handrick, Green Bay; nephews, Peter Goldberg, Vermont, Nick Goldberg, Vermont; my ex-daughter-in-law, Cindy Kopplin, Kronenwetter.
