SALLY (nee Jacobs) of Margate,
NJ, passed away on October 2,
2022, at the age of 85 at Lions
Gate in Vorhees, NJ, following a
battle with dementia. A native Phil-
adelphian, she grew up in Logan
and went to Olney High School
and Temple University, where she
was one of the few women of her
era to earn a B.A. in business.

She taught science and occasion-
ally business and French at Sam-
uel Fels Junior High School in the



obituaries
Northeast for twenty-five years.

She helped the school transition
to a senior high school and then
served as vice-principal at the new
senior high school. While teaching
full time, she went back to Temple
and earned a Master’s in Educa-
tion. After thirty-two years in the
Philadelphia school system, she
took early retirement and started
her own business designing and
selling women’s clothing. She mar-
ried Charles J. Berg in 1961, and
they lived in Germantown, East
Oak Lane, and Rydal. In the late
1980’s, they bought a shore house
in Margate, and they moved down
the shore full time in 2011. At the
shore, she enjoyed socializing with
friends, playing bridge, and going to
the casinos with Charles and their
friends for dinner and shows. She
also liked a little gambling from time
to time. Throughout their marriage,
she and Charles enjoyed dining
out, the Philadelphia Orchestra,
Temple basketball, European trav-
el, and Caribbean cruises. Later in
life, she developed a taste for ad-
venture travel, going on expeditions
like an African safari, a European
river cruise, and a trip to Burma well
into her 70’s and even into her early
80’s. She had sewed many of her
own clothes when she was young-
er, and so, when the pandemic hit,
brought her sewing machine out of
storage and made masks for two
New Jersey health care facilities.

Sally is survived by her husband
Charles, her son, David J. Berg,
and her daughter in law, Dr. Martha
K. Badger. She was predeceased
by a brother, Michael Jacobs.
