Neva Louise Omberg (Weigel) died on August 14 at the age of 77 at Sunflower Communities in Elmore MN. Neva was born to Lola and John (Harold) Weigel on February 28, 1948, growing up at the family farm in Monfort, WI. She graduated from high school in 1966. Married Robert Omberg on May 8, 1973, and later divorced after raising their 3 kids. She enjoyed it when the carnival came to town where she worked the ticket booth and people watched. She worked at Eddy Mays for a while and then went full time with the family locksmith business.
She cherished spending time with her kids and grandkids. She loved being around family and friends.
She enjoyed cooking, baking, was an avid reader, and crocheted hundreds of afghans over the years. She found joy making crepes for the grandkids, plus teaching them the art of lefse making each year. She enjoyed putting puzzles together even though they frustrated her. She found more recently adult coloring to be relaxing. If you knew Neva, you’d know she was quick-witted and loved to joke around. She made many friends and touched the hearts of many she met along the way.
She is proceeded in death by her parents and two brothers, Mark and Anton.
Neva’s memory will live on in her sons, Jesse (Gina), Todd (Faith), and daughter Elizabeth (Chris), along with 15 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren
Private graveside service is planned for a later date at Calvery Cemetery in Cobb WI.
In lieu of flowers, family requests donations to help cover funeral expenses or donations to Moments Hospice. Todd Omberg, 12 Oak Lane NE, Pine Island MN 55963.
She will be greatfully remembered for her time spent working at Dino’s Pizza at Medicine Lake, New Hope and Dino’s Other World. She hired me for a waitressing job at Medicine Lake and New Hope and was instrumental in introducing me to my future husband, Owen. She was a good and very special friend. We loved her dearly and spent many special times together.
R.I.P. my friend.
