MCFARLAND - Jane Marie Berg, age 74, of McFarland, passed away on Monday, April 19, 2021, at her home. She was born on Oct. 21, 1946, in Madison, the daughter of Eugene and Dorothy (Taylor) Dugan.
She married the love of her life, Kenneth Berg, on July 29, 1967, in Monona. Jane worked as a registered nurse for St. Mary's Hospital and McFarland Clinic for 43 years. She was a proud and active member of the McFarland Lioness Club.
Jane was a talented seamstress and quilter, a great cook, and amazing gardener. She loved traveling and camping, especially trips to Door County and Presque Isle.

Ken, I'm so very sorry to read this in the obituary column this morning. Although I didn't know Jane personally, I wanted to reach out to you to tell you how sorry we are. I know we all have to face this reality at some time, and it's not easy. Just know we are thinking about you today and share your sorrow.
