Mrs. Oberg enjoyed working in her garden, fishing, traveling to the ocean, her Mustang Cobra GT, luncheons with the "Lavender Ladies", and family get-togethers. She spent several years as a den mom and spent many hours doing volunteer work with the “Pioneers.”
She is survived by four children; two brothers; one sister; seven grandchildren; and many cousins.
