JEAN ELBERDA BERG

Jean Elberda Berg,  70, of Humbird passed away Wednesday Feb. 4, 2026. 

Jean was born Oct. 16, 1955, in Black River Falls, WI, to Cyrus and Gloria (Lange) Comstock. She graduated from Lincoln High School, Alma Center, in 1973. On Aug. 30, 1973, she married the love of her life, Raymond John Berg, and began the adventure of being a military wife, spending time in Texas, Georgia and Germany before returning home to the Merrillan/Humbird area. Jean worked many years as a childcare provider, cook and at Leeson (Regal-Beloit) in small motor assembly. She enjoyed camping and spending time with her family and friends. Jean’s love language was food. Many people benefited from her cooking, baking and canning, and no one was allowed to leave her house hungry.

Jean is survived by her three children, Michelle (Joe) Hinchcliff, Michael (Melanie) Berg and Adam Berg; nine grandchildren, Miranda Hinchcliff (Jason), Mary Rogers (Travon), Wyatt Berg, Morgan Berg, Julia Berg, Alyssa Berg (Erica), Hannah Hanson (Lucas), Mason Berg and Victoria Berg; and great-grandchildren, Ayden, Adonis, Andreas and Mavis. She is also survived by her brother, Leonard “Bill” Comstock; her sister, Joanne Johnson (Marvin); sister-in-law Jean Comstock (John); and many special nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, siblings Judy Comstock and John Comstock, and brothers-in-law Marvin Johnson and Carol Hayes.

Family and friends are invited to a memorial service for Jean Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, at 12 p.m. at the United Methodist Church in Merrillan, WI. Internment will follow at Oakwood Cemetery in Merrillan, WI.

Jensen-Modjeski Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
