Easterday Construction lost another of its third generation last week. Jacquelin (Jackye) Berger passed away Monday evening, February 9th, after the long good-bye of Alzheimer’s disease. You can read her obituary here: https://mountainviewfuneralhomeandcemetery.com/obituary/jacquelin-jackye-berger/
While never an actual employee, Jackye was an integral part of the ECC supporting cast. She would run errands, pick up supplies, help with entertaining clients and hosting company gatherings. While Larry Berger ran the company, Jackye was a stay-at-home mom. Larry was fortunate to be able to walk home for lunch most days, so he was able to spend lunch hour breaks with her. She served as a reassuring break from what was often a stressful job.
As outlined in her obituary, Jackye was also very involved in her community, volunteering and and serving on multiple boards and service entities. Her willingness to give of her time, knowledge and talents had an outsized effect on the Culver community.
Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease and the ECC family was saddened to watch her decline.
There will be a Celebration of Life this Summer when Larry returns to Culver, date yet to be determined. For those so inclined, her family requests in memoriam donations to the Alzheimer’s Association.
