Alma Berg was born in Springfield Township on May 11, 1926 to Albert and Lena (Somdalen) Berg. She attended country grade schools and was confirmed at Hurricane Lake Lutheran Church in 1941. In 1944, she graduated from Tioga High School and returned home to help on the family farm in Rolette County.

After her father's death in 1950, Alma continued to care for her mother in York and Rugby where she worked at the Rugby Hospital. Following her mother's death, she moved to Leeds where her only sibling, Lillian (Toots) Berg Marsaa lived. The sisters together moved to Heartland Care in Devils Lake and finally to Bethany Retirement Home in Fargo.

Alma was an avid fan of sports and country western music. Her special gifts included being the family letter writer, having a green thumb, and cheering up others through her keen sense of humor.

Alma Berg is survived by her niece, Donna (Ralph) Lemar; great-nephew, James (Martha) Lemar; great-nieces, Corrina and Carmen Lemar; 8 great-great nieces and nephews; her beloved cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister and brother-in-law, Toots and Dick Marsaa; great-nephew, Randall Lemar.
