Cecelia "Cece" F. Berg

Cecelia Florence Berg of Wahpeton, ND, passed away peacefully at St. Catherine’s Living Center the morning of Saturday, July 1, 2023.  She was 91 years old.  Cecelia was born on September 1, 1931, in Ashley, ND, to Jacob and Lydia Roeszler, and graduated from Ashley High School.  In 1948, she was married to Donald Berg.  In 1958, the couple moved to Wahpeton from Oakes, ND, and together they raised their 4 children.

Cecelia was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.  After staying at home with their children, she was employed with Sears Roebuck and later with Richland County Senior Services Center in Wahpeton.  She worked with the Senior Center well into her 70’s and loved helping those who needed both her help and support.  She was an avid bridge player, was very active in her church, and enjoyed being in the church choir.  Her faith was her foundation, blessed be her soul.

She is survived by her daughters, Marci Evans of Grand Forks, ND, and Pat (James) Cartwright of Denver, CO; sons, Michael Berg of Lake Tahoe, NV, and Marty Berg of Minnetrista, MN; six grandchildren: Brooklyn, Katie, Jimmy, Mckenzie, Christopher, and Hannah; and one great-granddaughter, Isabella.

Cecelia was preceded in death by her husband, Donald; brothers, Al and Leonard Roeszler; and son-in-law, Dr. Douglas Evans.

A small family memorial will be held this fall with interment at the Fargo Veterans Cemetery.  She will be laid to rest next to her husband of nearly 75 years, Donald.

Memorial can be sent to CHI Hospice Care of Breckenridge, MN, in memory of Cecelia.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Vertin-Munson Funeral Home, Wahpeton, ND.
