Doris was born November 23, 1924, in Waubay, SD to James and Rose (Buchholz) Schultz. Doris graduated from South Shore High School in 1942. She married Ernest Berg on August 19, 1947 in Chicago, IL.
She graduated from Beauty School and was a beautician at Connie’s Beauty Salon in Watertown, SD. Her working career also included Peerless Cleaners and Sears and Roebucks catalog store. Her final and long-time career was in the trust department at Farmers and Merchants Bank, retiring in 1983.
She was a former member of Grace Lutheran Church, served on the Board of Directors, and was a member of Ruth Circle. In 2010, she became a member of Lutheran Church of our Redeemer. She was a member of Elks Wives and Widows. Doris enjoyed many activities such as bowling which she enjoyed for more than twenty consecutive years. She was an avid golfer and was fortunate to make a hole in one at the Clark Golf Course on hole number 7. She also enjoyed camping and fishing in Canada and at the Missouri River, where she caught a “proud angler” walleye. Some of her other hobbies included counted cross stitch, crocheting, hardanger and knitting.
Doris is survived by a daughter, Rozanne Winger of Sioux Falls, SD; two sons, Bob (Rosemary) of Pierre, SD, and Rick (Pam) of Watertown, SD; four grandchildren; and 8 great grandchildren.
Doris was preceded in death by her husband Ernest, her parents Jim and Rose Schultz, three brothers and three sisters.
Doris will always be remembered as a fun loving, caring person who considered her love of family her most important thing in life.
