Obituary
Alice A. Berger passed away on May 8, 2008 in her home in Federal Way.
Born in 1923, Alice enjoyed a rich and rewarding life in her role as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.
Alice served her country during World War II. After the war Alice began a long life together with her husband, Robert, first living Australia, then in numerous locations across the U.S. before settling in Washington.
The beauty of her soul lay in her temperament, her endless strength, guidance and encouragement to family members and friends, her laugh, and an intuitive ability to nurture those around her. Her loves included traveling, reading, and her many pets.
She was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, Robert. She leaves 5 children: Kathryn Frasca of California, Margaret Morton of New Hampshire, Bob Berger of Missouri, Ed Berger of Washington, and Tom Berger of Tennessee, 8 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, and her beloved dog, Cricket. Alice is also survived by her brother John McDonough, and sister Helen Maguire, both of Rhode Island.
Special thanks are given to the Franciscan Hospice House for their compassionate care during this time of loss. Donations may be given to the Franciscan Hospice House, 2901 Bridgeport Way West, University Place, WA 98466.
