Mary Jane Berken
May 20, 1921 — August 3, 2015
Mary Jane Berken, age 94, of Green Bay, a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on August 3, 2015.
The daughter of the late Howard and Elizabeth Maloney married the love of her life, Roy Berken, May 31, 1948. Together they adopted and raised 3 children: Gary, Joel and Belle.
Mary had a passion for African violets, rummage sales, a challenging game of bridge and always welcomed a spirited game of cribbage with Roy. When fishing day came, she often had the first catch of the day.
To her family and friends Mary was well known for her sharp political analysis and for always being up to date on current events, even up to her last days.
Mary is survived by a son, Joel (Debra) Berken of Green Bay; daughter, Belle East of Fallbrook, CA and grandchildren: Kaitlyn and Krista Berken of Green Bay and Trevor and Miles East of Fallbrook, CA. She is further survived by a brother, Gerald (Hope) Maloney and sister-in-law, Carol Maloney along with many nieces, nephews and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Roy; son, Gary; brother, Patrick Maloney; sister, Elizabeth "Betts" Hogan; brothers-in-law and sister-in law.
Friends and relatives may call at NATIVITY OF OUR LORD PARISH, (2270 Oneida St., Green Bay) on Friday, August 7, 2015 from 10 to 11 AM. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 11 AM with Msgr. Raymond East officiating.
