Obituary for Audrey Jean BERGEY (Kline)
BERGEY, Audrey
We are saddened to announce the passing of Audrey Bergey (nee Kline) on Saturday, April 24, 2021, at Columbia Forest Long Term Care Home, Waterloo, in her 95th year. Daughter of Addison and Miriam (Wettlaufer) Kline. Beloved wife of the late William Bergey (2008) and mother of Susan Bergey (Robyn Landers) and Liz Bergey (Wayne De Jong). Sister to Robert Kline (Jean). Grandma to Julian Landers and Aiden De Jong, and aunt to Bonnie Aultman (Peter), Kim Otterbein (Bevin) and Wendy Prince (Brad Douglas). She is remembered by many grand-nieces and nephews and her much-loved extended family.
Audrey was a long-time member of Zion United Church, New Hamburg, and enjoyed her St. James’-Rosemount United Church family upon moving to Kitchener from the farm in New Hamburg. Audrey and Bill were later members of First United Church in Waterloo.
Audrey touched the lives of all she met, from her teaching days in New Dundee and Galt to hosting exchange students on the farm, teaching English as a Second Language to Hmong newcomers, and even teaching English to a fellow resident at Luther Village on the Park.
Our thanks to the dedicated staff at Parkwood Seniors Community, The Sunshine Centre at Luther Village on the Park, and at Columbia Forest Long Term Care, for their love and support to Audrey over the past years. Staff at Columbia Forest became her family when the pandemic prevented her own family from seeing her for months at a time.
In honour of Audrey’s memory, donations may be made to The Alzheimer’s Society, the Waterloo Chapter of the CNIB, or First United Church Waterloo.
Cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held when we can all really, really be together to celebrate the life of this independent lady!
Funeral arrangements entrusted to the Mark Jutzi Funeral Home, New Hamburg. Personal condolences and donation information available at www.markjutzifuneralhomes.ca
