Obituary for Elsa Irene Norberg
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Elsa Irene Ingeborg Norberg (nee Nelson), age 83 on Thursday November 29, 2018 at Oakview Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Elsa is survived by her loving son, Darin. She is also survived by her nieces Karen Doyle and Kirsten (Graeson) Wright, and nephew Robin Damm. She was predeceased by her parents Ragnar and Hilma Nelson, and her husband Arvid Norberg.
Elsa was born on May 2, 1935 and grew up and lived in Winnipeg. Elsa met Arvid at St.Marks Lutheran church in the mid-1950s and they got married in 1958 and moved to Meadows. Elsa graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees. She taught for several years in Winnipeg and Warren, Manitoba.
Elsa was an active member of the Meadow’s Community Club and Ladies Auxiliary. She enjoyed the time she spent quilting with her many friends at the Meadow’s Hall. Elsa and Arvid were active members of the Swedish Community, working on projects such as The Swedish Saga documentary and volunteering their time at the Swedish folklorama pavilion at Vasalund in Winnipeg.
She returned to live in Winnipeg in her later years and enjoyed spending many afternoons at the Millennium Library reading books and magazines. She was an avid reader and loved to engage in conversations involving history and current affairs with friends and family. She also loved to pass the time playing Scrabble and other games on her iPad.
Her family would like to thank all those people that helped make her last few months as comfortable as possible.
A service will take place on Wednesday December 5th, 2018 at St Mark’s Lutheran Church, 600 Cambridge Street at 2:00 PM.
Faith, Hope and Charity.
