Anne T. Berger, 102

Anne T. Berger, wife of the late Edmund Z. Berger, died on Aug. 16. She was born in Providence, one of six girls, and was pre-deceased by all of her sisters – Gladys Galkin, Rita Tanenbaum, Eve Tanenbaum, Celia Tanenbaum and Ruth Lewis. She was a member of Temple Beth Israel in Providence and Torat Yisrael in Cranston, a life member of the Cranston Senior Guild, and a volunteer at Hasbro Chidren’s Hospital and Hadassah.

She was a graduate of Central High School. During her career, she worked as a bookkeeper for various companies. In 1960, she started working at Natco Products in West Warwick. After 20 years she retired as the human resource manager, office manager and treasurer of the corporation.  

She and her sisters are remembered for putting on shows at Temple Beth Israel, and often for servicemen during WWII. She loved dancing, traveling and cruises. She made lasting friends wherever she went. 

She moved to Herndon, Virginia, in 2002 to be near her daughter Risa (Berger) Bernstein; son-in-law Bruce Bernstein; and  grandson Colin James Bernstein. When her daughter and family moved to California in 2003, she too moved to California.  

Anne is survived by Risa, Bruce, and grandson Colin, who came to us from Korea, and was loved and taken care of by his “Nee” as if he were her own – which of course he was.
