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 5, 2018 at St Mark's Lutheran Church, 600 Cambridge Street at 2:00 p.m. Faith, Hope and Charity.

My deepest sympathy to you Darin on the loss of your mom and to Karen and Kirsten on the loss of your aunt. I delivered Meals on Wheels to your mom and aunt on Mondays and Fridays for a long time when she lived on Quail Ridge. She was such a nice lady and we always had a bit of a conversation when I saw her. - Posted by: Joan Porteous (Meals on Wheels Driver) on: Dec 01, 2018

I was saddened to read of the passing of your dear mother Elsie. We were friends in days of United College. I recently was thinking of her, and recalled her great sense of humor. May her memory be for a blessing. Sadly, Esther Weinstein, now of Vancouver. - Posted by: Esther Weinstein (friend) on: Dec 01, 2018

Elsie as we knew her was closer to my sister, Iris (Larsen) Burke. We met in some odd places over the years, ie: The Red River Ex. I offer my deepest condolences to her son Darin. - Posted by: Heather McKenzie, nee, Larsen (Friend growing up. ) on: Dec 01, 2018
