- Margaret Bergschultz
Bob Bergschultz remembers that, as a young boy, there was always room, for. another person at his family's dinner table on Sundays.
"My mom always had a big dinner on Sundays. People would show lip with their kids and stay for dinner. I would look around the table and it would be full of people," Mr. Bergschultz said.
"My parents would grouse about it afterward, but they never turned anyone away. Mom was a very caring person. We didn't have much, but we always had good meals."
His mother Margaret M. Bergschultz is probably in charge of a kitchen somewhere in heaven, Mr. Bergschultz said.
Mrs. Bergschultz, 83, died of congestive heart failure Monday, March 1, at Progressive Care Center in Sheboygan. She formerly lived on Cedar Beach Lane in the Town of Belgium. She also lived in Sheboygan for several years.
Mrs. Bergschultz chose to go to Progressive Care Center because she had volunteered there for many years.
"She was always doing volunteer work. She liked to help people," her. son said.
A Port Washington native, she was born July 31, 1921, to John and Susan Prom Ayers.
On Nov. 21, 1939, she married Myron "Miney" Bergschultz of Wausau. Mr. Bergschultz died Aug. 2, 1989.

She.was also a cook and waitress at the former Roob's Restaurant and Harry's Restaurant, both in Port Washington.
Mrs. Bergschultz. was an assembler at Tecumseh Power. Products in Grafton, where she served as a union steward. She retired in the late 1980s.
"She was a person who would speak her mind," Mr. Bergschultz said. "If she had .something to say, she would tell you and not say things behind your back."
Her love for cooking was matched only by her love for animals, her son said.
"She loved her animals and she loved watching birds. She used to get such a kick out of Dad trying to keep the squirrels from getting the birdseed," he said.
Mrs. Bergschultz was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Belgium Auxiliary Post 5373 and Friends of HarrIngton Beach State Park.
