Susan Alane Thompson Berg, 78, Ames. Born in Fort Dodge. Her dad was an Air Force Officer, so her early years featured movement to six states, Newfoundland and the Far East. Despite her travels, she remained anchored to her Iowa roots. She was crowned Miss Iowa in 1968 and was Second Runner-up in the 1969 Miss America Scholarship Pageant. Susan earned a B.A from the University of Iowa in 1972 and a Master of Arts degree from Iowa State in 1978. Earlier in life, Susan married Thomas Good. Then, in 1991, she married Keith Berg. Susan was deeply proud of her Norwegian heritage and, of course, her entire family. A gifted watercolorist for over 30 years and a dedicated educator, she served on the teaching faculty at Iowa State University's College of Design for two decades. Survivors include her husband, Keith, of Boone, four sons, Wade, Matthew, Adam and Aaron and their wives, Keith's daughter, Mareny Berg, her brother, John Thompson, and several grandchildren. Services in Boone.
