Marilyn Ann Bergman (nee Dulka) of Mequon WI finally lost her battle with ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease) on August 12, 2012. From the day she was diagnosed with this horrible disease on March 7, 2005, she never quit fighting. She knew that family and friends were with her every step of the way and she was forever grateful for the love and support she received each day over the past seven and a half years. The many visits, phone calls, cards, food brought in so she wouldn’t have to always be subjected to John’s cooking and the love and prayers she felt helped her with her battle.  For all of this and much more, Marilyn’s family express their thanks. 

Marilyn’s wonderful life will be celebrated on Thursday, August 23, 2012 at Lumen Christi Catholic Church; 2700 West Mequon Road, corner of North Range Line Road in Mequon, with visitation from 11:30 AM to the time of the celebration of the Mass of Christian Burial at 1 PM. Memorials to the ALS Association; 3333 North Mayfair Road, Suite 213; Wauwatosa WI 53222 would be appreciated in lieu of flowers. 

Marilyn was born September 2, 1931 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the daughter of Wallace and Rose Marie (nee Verhalen) Dulka. She is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years John Bergman, her children Rick Bergman of Grafton WI, Jim (Nancy) Bergman of Bettendorf, IA and Kathy Jarozewski of Norwalk CT; her grandchildren Rob Bergman of Grafton WI, Sophie Bergman of Bettendorf IA and Kiki and Lila Jarozewski, both of Norwalk CT., her brother Jim (Kathy) Dulka of Oaklee MN, her sister Ann (Ernie) Kernien of Greendale WI, her sister-in-law Carolyn Dulka of Big Bend WI, many cousins, nieces, nephews and loving friends.
