NYBERG – Marion, passed away on August 22, 2012. Mom was the eldest daughter born to Lewis and Evelyn Yockey on April 7, 1932. She grew up in the Lily Plain area. She married Martin Nyberg on Nov 8, 1952 and they made their home in the district of Deer Ridge. They resided on the original Nyberg homestead and raised five children. Mom was a stay at home mother who worked very hard taking care or her family. She loved to cook and you were always guaranteed a good home cooked meal with every visit. She took great pride in her flowers and enormous vegetable garden. She gave away the extras to anyone who needed them. She loved to visit with family and friends. Mom enjoyed the company of her dog Teddy and talked to him often. Mom’s eyes lost a bit of their sparkle with each of the losses in her life with the passing of her husband in 1999 and then the loss of her son, Walter and son-in-law (who was like a son to her) Albert Stevenson, both in 2008. A lot of that sparkle returned with the birth of her first great grandchild, Cali. When Cali came to visit at the home she always put on a special show for great grandma and Mom never took her eyes off Cali for most of the visit. Thanks to Mom’s youngest son, Karl, who moved back to the homestead and did major renovations she was able to remain in her home until June 2012. At that time, due to her failing health she moved to the Parkland Terrace Nursing Home in Shellbrook. She was settling in her new home and met some new friends. She was well-liked by the staff and her passing was sudden and a shock to us all. Mom will be greatly missed by all whose hearts she touched. She leaves to mourn her daughters, Mariana Chapman (Rodney) and Peggy Stevenson (Clarence); sons, Karl Nyberg (Shirley) and Edward Nyberg; son by heart, Merle Joelson; former daughter-in-law, Pam Kneeshaw; grandchildren, Ashley Nyberg, Christopher and Julianna Chapman (Scott), Michael Stevenson (Jennifer), Kevin Stevenson (Noura), Jamie Nyberg (Nicole) and Brandon Nyberg; great granddaughter, Cali Nia Stevenson; sisters, Helen Kuhn (Joe), Lillian Halliday (Albert), Lula Hendrickson (Doug); and brother, Gerald Arthur Yockey (Linda); and her faithful dog, Teddy. She was predeceased by her husband, Martin Nyberg; son, Walter Nyberg; son-in-law, Albert Stevenson; parents, Lewis and Evelyn Yockey; brothers, Orville, Mervin, Edward and Raymond Yockey. A Memorial Service for Marion will be held at the Deer Ridge Hall on Friday, September 14, 2012 at 2:00 PM. Memorial donations may be made to Parkland Terrace Care Home in Shellbrook.
