Ricki Berger

Obituary

Ricki was born on 6/23/36 in Baltimore, MD to Abraham & Miriam Stopak.

She graduated from the University of Maryland and married her lifetime love, Donald Berger. They lived in Baltimore where their daughter Susan was born. They moved to Cleveland several years later and added Tom to the family.

Finally, in 1973 they moved the clan to Boca Raton, FL. Ricki flourished in Boca, focusing her energies on Temple Beth El from its infancy, including leading the sisterhood and being a maven in the gift shop.

Ricki also co-founded the Boca chapter of the Brandeis University National Women’s Committee. Most important to Ricki, she attended to, if not obsessed over, all the needs of her children and husband.

In later years she started a business, Creative by Design, making booklets for children’s Bar & Bat Mitzvahs as well as weddings.

But to her last days, nothing was more important to Ricki than her growing family.
