Barbara Pauline Pertzborn

STOUGHTON-Barbara P. Pertzborn, age 90, of Stoughton, passed with peace and grace on Friday, May 11, 2018. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Barb was born on July 2, 1927, in Stoughton, the only child of George and Klara (Olson) Berg. Barb graduated from Stoughton High School, Class of 1945, received her nursing degree from Methodist Hospital in 1948, and worked as a registered nurse for over 25 years at the VA Hospital in Milwaukee. This career suited her serving heart.   Barb was an avid reader, enjoyed knitting and crocheting, cross-stitching, playing cards, table games, and afternoon bus trips with friends to the casino. She also enjoyed shopping, had a love for growing orchids, and going to dinner and the movies. Barb took great pride in her Norwegian heritage, always looking forward to the annual lutefisk dinner with friends. She especially loved holidays and family get-togethers; any chance to spend time with her family was important to her.   Barb will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Kira, Kari (Gene) Rech, and Kelly Coloso; daughter-in-law, Lori Pertzborn; grandchildren, Daniel (Samantha and daughter, Sophia), Tony, Nick, Matthew, Lauren, Elizabeth and Scott; great-grandchild, Kaitlynn; and many other cherished relatives and long-time friends.  She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Daniel N. Pertzborn; and beloved son, Daniel.   A memorial service will be held at noon with visitation held prior to the service, starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, May 21, 2018, at GUNDERSON STOUGHTON FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 1358 Hwy 51 North at Jackson St., Stoughton.
