OBITUARIES
Caroline Ann Berg
July 14,
1940
—
March 23,
2016
Caro-
line
Ann
Berg, 75,
died in Sa-
lem, Oregon, after a 15
year battle with Alzheim-
er’s disease.
Caroline was born in
Silverton to Swen and An-
na Sorensen of Scotts
Mills. She was raised as an
only child until the age of
12 when her sister Susan
was born. She attended
Scotts Mills grade school
and graduated from Sil-
verton High School in
1958.
After high school, Car-
oline moved to Portland,
and worked as a nurse’s
aide at Shriners Hospital
for Children for 2 years.
She then worked at Man-
ning’s Restaurant in the
Lloyd Center for 3 years
as a broiler cook. While
working there she met
Jimmy Hubbard. They
married in 1963. They
adopted infant Amy in
1965. Caroline also adopt-
ed Jim’s nephew, Lonnie,
9, whom he was raising.
The marriage ended in di-
vorce in 1969 after which
she made contact with an
old Mt. Angel boyfriend,
Larry Berg. She and Lar-
ry married in 1970. Caro-
line and Amy moved to
live with Larry in Mt. An-
gel. Lonnie remained in
Portland with his dad. Son
Casey was born later that
year followed by another
son, Chris, in 1973. Caro-
line was a homemaker
while Larry worked in his
family’s house moving
business. When the kids
were small, she took in
other children to baby-sit.
After the kids started
school, Caroline cooked
part time at the Angel’s
Table Restaurant and
then at Evergreen Golf
Course to help feed the
lunch crowd.
She was a huge movie
fan when she was a kid.
Caroline liked to watch
old movies from the 40s
and 50s. Her favorite
movie was the Wizard of
Oz; and of course her fa-
vorite singer was Judy
Garland.
Caroline liked to cook
but she would rather be
shopping, always looking
for that “bargain.” Her
shopping also created a
rather large collection of
cookie jars, wicker bas-
kets, teddy bears, and of
course shoes and purses.
In 1981, Caroline decid-
ed to try catering a wed-
ding and it was success-
ful. She catered functions
large and small for the
next 20 years, hiring
friends and family mem-
bers to assist as needed.
She had a popular busi-
ness with many repeat
customers.
She
was
forced to quit the business
in 2002, which she loved
and had said she wanted to
do until she was 75. Her
potato salad was legend-
ary.
Everyone is unique,
but Caroline was more
unique than most. She
made friends easily and
would start a conversa-
tion with complete strang-
ers on a regular basis. Her
main goal in life was to
just have fun. Remember
her 50th birthday?
People knew her to be
outgoing, outspoken, out-
rageous, and also enjoyed
embarrassing people by
her antics but still had
class when it was appro-
priate.
The family lived in Mt.
Angel until 1996 when
Caroline
and
Larry
moved 2 miles east to the
farm where Larry grew
up. In 2006, because of ad-
vancing dementia, Caro-
line moved to The Woods
at Willow Creek in Salem.
Caroline is survived by
husband, Larry, daughter,
Amy (Tim) Sullivan, sons,
Casey and Chris Berg,
son, Lonnie Hubbard;
grandchildren, Holly and
Sean Sullivan, and Kacee
Berg, sister, Susan Cook.
No public services are
planned.
There will be a birth-
day celebration at noon on
July 10th at the Scotts
Mills City Park on First
Street. Hot dogs and ham-
burgers will be provided.
Bring memories and food
to share if you would like.
Everyone is welcomed.
Caroline loved animals
and donated to the Hu-
mane Society. In Caro-
line’s memory, please
help the Humane Society
and Alzheimer’s research
in any way you can.
The family would like
to give special thanks to
the staff at “The Woods”
for the outstanding care
that Caroline received for
the last 9 ½ years.

We Are Here to Help Answer All Your Questions!
Who do I call fi rst?
When a death is unexpected and a person is not on hospice, nor in a licensed care facility, your fi rst phone call
may be to the funeral home. However, the police must be notifi ed fi rst. Often the funeral home will call and
notify the police for you.
Once police are notifi ed, they will come to the place of death and assess things. They will also contact EMT to
come and certify the time and that a death has occurred. Afterward, the police may phone the nearest funeral
home to assist in transportation of the individual. In certain cases, the medical examiner’s deputy may also
be requested at the scene to determine if an autopsy may be required. In other cases, an autopsy may not be
necessary. If family wishes to pursue an autopsy, they should notify the funeral
director.
No. Only in certain circumstances. Embalming is required in cases of
communicable disease or prolonged public viewing (6 hours or longer). Most
often times the funeral home will utilize mortuary refridgeration, as required after
the fi rst 24 hours of death.
