Olga Berk '62



Olga Jane Berk '62 passed away on Friday, June 6, 2025, following a brief but valiant fight against pneumonia. She was surrounded by her husband, children and grandchildren, who sang and prayed over her as she peacefully entered the presence of her Lord and Savior.

Olga earned her degree in elementary education from Malone College. On August 11, 1962, she married Clarence Berk in Onsted, Michigan. They shared over six decades of devoted marriage. She dedicated her life to education, teaching for a total of 31 years-first in Canton and Springfield Schools in Ohio for a year at each school, and then for 29 years at Blue Mountain Schools in Pennsylvania, where she retired in 1997.


We lift up the Berk family in our prayers during this difficult time. To read the full obituary, click here
