Time is fleeting.  I can't believe that Jean has passed over 10 years ago at this point.  I decided to connect her original obit from the newspaper to this site so anyone stumbling across this particular post would know a little bit more about her.  She was wonderful person who made your life just a little bit better by having the pleasure of knowing her!  

Jean Berger - Business owner and mother of four, formerly of Millburn, 81 Jean Ann (Myers/Pickett) Berger, 81, of Pompano Beach, Fla., passed away on Oct. 25, 2014. A memorial service will be held for Jean at 4 p.m. on Dec. 6, 2014, at the Community Church of Mountain Lakes, 48 Briarcliff Road, Mountain Lakes, N.J. Born on Oct. 6, 1933, to the late Jewett and Georgiana (Keyes) Myers, Jean was raised in Fulton, N.Y., and attended Green Mountain College and Emerson College. She worked as a speech therapist in Albany, N.Y. In 1957, Jean married Kenneth Pickett, had four children and moved to Millburn, N.J. Widowed at 34, Jean married Herman Berger in 1972, and together they ran a wholesale jewelry business. Jean moved to Pompano Beach in 1981, where she was a small business owner and sales rep. Jean maintained many friendships from all stages of her life and mostly enjoyed spending time with them and her family. Jean will be remembered for her upbeat positive attitude and "joie de vivre." She is survived by her four children and their spouses, James (Beth) Pickett of Mountain Lakes, N.J.; Jana Liuzzi of Fort Myers, Fla.; Kenneth (Lisa) Pickett of New York City, and Jennifer (Ron) Morales of Hillsdale, N.Y.; two stepchildren, Peggy Slinger and James (Patti) Berger, and nine grandchildren, Zachary, Kenneth, Matthew, Sarah, Dina, Thomas, Emily, Catherine, and Michael. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Women in Distress of Broward County.

We were a threesome in Fulton High school - same sorority, same church, same scout troop.  She was a bridesmade in my wedding back in 1955.  Many sleepovers etc.  I even remember that she gave us a tall green bottle with a stopper that I had for many years.  We lost track for some years and then when my second husband and I were taking a cruise out of Lauderdale.Jean Ann came down to meet us.  We called on special occasions - the last one on her last birthday - she said she was having a terrible day and she would get back to me.  She will be missed by many.
