Nancy (Sabatke) Berger entered the kingdom of God on
December 18, 2019, while at home surrounded by her loving
family, after a long battle with breast cancer.
She was born September 3, 1956, in Wausau, Wisconsin, and
was a lifelong resident of Mosinee. She graduated from Mosinee High School
in 1974. On April 16, 1977, she married the love of her life, Roy
Berger. They were blessed with one daughter, Alissa. Nancy was
primarily a homemaker. She also did administrative and accounting work,
most recently at Maple Ridge Farms in Mosinee, and was a Stampin’ Up!
Demonstrator.
Nancy enjoyed rubber stamping and paper crafting. It was
always fun to see her creativity and receive handmade cards from
her. She was an amazing Grammy to Tyler and Trevor and had a love for cheering
on the Packers and Brewers, playing word games, relaxing by a campfire, and
seeing the northern lights. She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church and
was very active in service to the Lord.
Survivors, besides her husband, Roy, include a daughter,
Alissa (Josh) Prentice of Schofield; two beloved grandsons, Tyler and Trevor
Prentice; siblings, Jill (Randy) Buelow, Kathy Ryskiewicz, Laurie Henschel,
Diane Sabatke, all of Mosinee, John (Tracey) Pelot Jr. of Stevens Point, Mike
(Cyn) Pelot of Wausau, Carol Zogata of Riverton, Wyoming, Kathy (Jack) Ciula of
Stevens Point, Glenda (Jerry) Bursky of Mosinee; and many treasured
nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Alice (Singkofer)
Pelot; brother, Gregory Sabatke; mother-in-law, Vivian (Marquard)
Berger; and father-in-law, Walter Berger.
A funeral service will be
held at 11 a.m. Monday, December 23, 2019, at St. John's Lutheran Church in
Dancy, Wisconsin, with the Rev. Timothy Roser officiating. Visitation will be
from 9 a.m. Monday until time of services at the church. A private burial will
be held in spring at St. John's Lutheran Church Cemetery, Dancy.
The family would like to give a special thank you to Dr.
Chris Peterson and the staff at Aspirus Cancer Center, as well
as Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice. We are so grateful for your care. In lieu
of flowers, memorials may be made to St. John's Lutheran Church, 200950 St
Johns Road, Mosinee, WI 54455. (Old address: 2291 Church Road).
The best gift she ever gave her family was her fight against
breast cancer for two and a half more years together.
The Mid-Wisconsin Cremation Society is assisting the family.
