Obituary:
Bergman, Mary Ellen (Williamsen) Mary Ellen Bergman, age 76, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed away on Thursday, November 8, 2007, after a courageous battle with lymphoma. Mary Ellen was born on April 29, 1931, to Raymond and Jeanette Williamsen, in Appleton, Wisconsin. Mary Ellen graduated from Appleton West High School in 1949. On July 12, 1951, Mary Ellen married Robert Bergman at St. Therese Church in Appleton, and they recently celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary. They spent their first year of marriage in Panama where Bob served in the Army before returning to Appleton.
Mary Ellen was a member of St. Joseph Church and belonged to the Monte Alverno Guild. After raising their three children, Mary Ellen worked as a seamstress for many years. She was a fun loving, caring wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, and she will be dearly missed. Even during her illness, she never lost her sense of humor and was always willing to listen and try to solve every crisis large or small.
She is survived by her loving husband and caregiver, Bob; a son, Jim, Appleton; two daughters: Sandy (Kirk) Nichols and Shari (Greg) Anderson, both Appleton. She is further survived by four grandchildren: Ashley Bergman, Luke Anderson, Sam Anderson and Lily Nichols; four step-grandchildren: Jason (Callie) Lauer, Jacquelyn (Matt) McQuaid, Jon Nichols and Joe (Catherine) Nichols; and three step-great-grandchildren: Ashlee, Samantha and Scout.

Mary Ellen was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Jeanette Williamsen; a sister, Barbara Petersen; mother and father-in-law, Mary and Peter Bergman; sister-in-law, Genevieve Bergman-Lyons; and brother-in-law, Eugene Bergman.
