Linda (Chandler) Berger
Born December 27, 1939 and died March 15, 2022
Linda K. Chandler Berger died recently. She was born in Rising Sun, IN. After
graduating from Nappanee High School, Nappanee, IN, Linda earned a B.S. degree
from Indiana State Teachers College, Terre Haute, IN.
Linda married Edwin A. Berger-the love of her life and high school sweetheart-in 1961.
While Ed was in medical school in Kirksville, MO Linda taught high school English in
Ottumwa, IA. She continued teaching in Tulsa, OK as Ed began his family practice
there. She was at Booker T. Washington High School, Tulsa, 1968-1972. She then
became an adjunct instructor in Communications at the University of Tulsa for 15
years-later joining Ed in his office as assistant office manager.
Linda and Ed were volunteers with Tulsa Global Alliance in the 80's, escorting many
foreign visitors on their exchange programs in Tulsa. Linda was President of the Tulsa
Osteopathic Auxiliary 1982-1984.
Life with Ed was a constant adventure as they enjoyed many shared pastimes-boating
& fishing on Lake Tenkiller, golfing, gardening, anything outdoors, reading, and traveling
the world as they visited all 50 states and 56 countries on six continents. The History,
Art, Culture, and Landscape made each trip a rare adventure. The best of them all was
Tulsa-the city they fell in love with in 1965 on their first visit. They supported many arts,
sports, and community projects during their 50+ years there.
Linda was predeceased by her husband Edwin A. Berger, D.O; She is survived by sister Dr. Karen C. Day, Denton, TX;
