Nov. 20, 1942 ~ May 22, 2024
Marlborough – Bernd (Bernie) Mieth, 81 of Marlborough passed away from his battle with pancreatic cancer on May 22 at his home surrounded by his close family.
Born in Leipzig, Germany, he was the son of Ursula (Rath) and Ernst Mieth and was raised in Dresden.
He served in a pilot program in cooperation between the US Air Force and the German Luftwaffe. Being stationed in Texas led to an interest of starting a family and raising his kids in the US. He worked for Digital Equipment Corporation for most of his career, which led to a 4 year re-location to Munich, Germany, where he set up a training center for DEC at the Olympic Park.
Bernie enjoyed traveling with his family. Bernie and Anneliese met in Wiesbaden, Germany and have been married for 57 years. In 1968, they moved to the US for their next adventure. His sense of humor and hospitality will be missed by many.
He is survived by his wife Anneliese, his children, Corie and Dirk, daughter-in-law Jamie and four grandchildren, Seneca, Maya, Taylor and Brody.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 183 West Main Street, Westborough, MA on June 1st at 11am.
Pickering & Son Westborough Funeral Home assisted with arrangements.
