George Robert Berglund, age 88, of Lake Mills, formerly of Chicago, Illinois, died on Monday, February 19, 2018, at the Lake Mills Care Center in Lake Mills, Iowa.

George Berglund, a son of Oscar and Magda (Soderstrum) Berglund, was born on April 27, 1929, in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from Lane Technical High School, he served his country in the United States Army Signal Corps. On September 20, 1952, he married his loving wife, Betty Jane Rads, at Pilgrim Church in Chicago. They were, subsequently, blessed with sixty-five years together.

A member of the Masons and active as a Boy Scout Leader, he worked for Illinois Bell Telephone for forty-two years and played an active role in his community in Chicago and later in Plainfield, Illinois, as well. Eventually, as their health declined and they could no longer live on their own, so he and Betty moved to Iowa to be nearer to family. A loving father and grandfather, George lived his life in pursuit of his family’s happiness and success.

Those left to cherish his memory include his two children, Kenneth (Christine) Berglund, of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, and Cindy (Bob) Sarver, of Leland, Iowa; his four grandchildren: Matthew (Becky) Berglund, of Albany, Oregon, Amanda Berglund, of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, Jessica (Kent) Poulsen, of Aurora, Illinois, and Bobby (Robyn) Sarver, of Dubuque, Iowa, and one great-granddaughter, Sabina Berglund, also of Albany, Oregon. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Ruth Durr.
