Mary Frances Berger

Mary Frances Berger was born in Springfield, Ohio to Reverend T.A. and Frances Kantonen. She married the Reverend John Berger, and had four sons, Mark, Tim, Matthew, and Philip.

She lived the last 30 years of her life in Maumee, Ohio and attended various churches, but primarily St. John’s Lutheran Church in Toledo and Faith Presbyterian in Findlay. She spent many years volunteering at Wolcott House and especially enjoyed working in her meticulously cared for garden.

John and Mary never missed a single summer vacationing in Rockland, Maine with their children and grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband John and sister Nancy. She is survived by her siblings, Bill and Marty, her four sons, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 708 S Erie St, Toledo, OH, on Friday, February 2, 2024 at 3pm. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Waterville Historical Society, or the Toledo Metroparks.
