Susan Kristine Berg a blond hair, blue eyed Norwegian, was born at St. Andrews Hospital in Bottineau, ND on November 7, 1956, to Clarence and Mabel Berg. She was raised on the Berg family farm along with her brother and sister and attended school in Souris, ND. Sue was a Souris "Blue Jay" and graduated from high school in 1975. Her high school summers were spent at Lake Metigoshe carhopping at the Drive Inn.

Sue was always very creative and studied both flower and hair design. She started her life-long career as a hair stylist working at "Diane's Mane Street Salon" in Bottineau, ND. Over 35 years ago, Sue took a leap of faith and started "Wave Maker by Sue" at her home in Whiskey Bay on Lake Metigoshe. Sue wasn't just a hairstylist for most of her customers. She became an extension of their families and a life-long friend.

Sue loved living on the lake and enjoyed all the fun that went along with it. From jet-skiing to boating, Sue loved her time in the water and the warm sun. She wouldn't mind if summer lasted all year as long as the sun was shining. In the winter, Sue tried to get away when she could to a beach in Mexico or somewhere else warm to relax and catch some Vitamin D. For over a decade Sue talked about moving to a warmer destination, but she just couldn't leave the summer paradise she called her home.

Sue was a kind, generous, and warm-hearted gal and a loving friend to many. Although she had no spare time, she still prepared and delivered food for friends and cut hair for the elderly at area nursing homes. Her family has many fond memories of her making them laugh with the wit she inherited from her dad. Sue was a "Cat Whisperer" and enjoyed rescuing and feeding many of them through the years. She was very spiritual and loved Jesus.

Sue left this world on Tuesday, August 25th, 2020 at Trinity Hospital in Minot, ND after sustaining a head injury in a bicycle accident. The Silver Lining in this tragic time of sorrow is that Sue will live on through the donation of her organs by doing what she always did best, helping other people.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and numerous uncles and aunts.

Sue is survived by her sister Cindy (Mike) Pesek of Grand Forks, ND; brother Denis (Marty) Schoonover of Arlington, WA; nephews James (Sherry) Schoonover of Lake Stevens, WA and Adam (Michelle) Lunde of Maple Grove, MN; nieces Kristy (Scott) Olson of Marysville, WA and Bethany (Joe) Benjamin of East Grand Forks, MN; five great nieces and four great nephews; one aunt Delores Berg of Rugby, ND; many cousins; cherished friends and hair clients; and millions of kitty-cats.
