It is with great sadness that my dear mother, Grammy and Tante Niki Berger passed away on Dec. 10, 2023, her 88th year, with her niece by her side.
She lived her last years in beautiful Austria, her place of birth. She and Otto, my father, immigrated to the USA in 1960 via Canada.
She so enjoyed beautiful Santa Barbara, and worked at the Coral Casino 1965, then moved over to the Biltmore Hotel when it was privately owned in the 1970s, and lastly worked for the Santa Barbara Public Health Department.
Her love of animals, live music and theater, a kind heart and laughter were her gift to us.
She is survived by her daughter Tina (Harry); grandsons Jason (Ruth) and Josh; two dear great grandchildren Emma and Otto; and nieces Andrea and Bettina (Helmut).
She is predeceased by her mother, father, aunt and dearly loved twin sister Herta and husband Otto.
Rest well Mom until we meet again …
