Lorna J. Alberg, of Weston, formerly of Wittenberg, went to be with Jesus her Savior on Dec. 27, 2024.
Lorna was born on Aug. 4, 1931, in the Town of Fairbanks, the daughter of Otto and Violet (Seefeldt) Krueger. On May 31, 1952, Lorna was united in marriage to Robert Alberg in Split Rock. They were married for 68 years before Robert’s passing.
Lorna graduated from Tigerton High School and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. She received her bachelor of science degree in teaching and spent many years teaching young children.
She started her career in one-room schoolhouses in Shawano and Morris, and in later years taught second and third grades at Birnamwood Elementary School and Wittenberg Elementary School. She always had a sensitivity for the children who were slower to learn or who had more difficult life experiences.
Lorna was active in Redeemer Lutheran Church, both in Sunday School and in the women’s Bible study. In later years, Lorna spent hours reading the Bible and devotionals, and praying for family and friends. She also enjoyed reading and treasured her collection of books.
Lorna had a servant’s heart and provided much support to her husband and family. She was faithfully at her husband’s side when he struggled with illness in his later years and was always eager to invest in the lives of her children and grandchildren.
Lorna is survived by three children, Susan Levandoski, of Wittenberg, Jan (Robert) Ostrowski, of Wells, Minnesota, and Peter (Karen) Alberg, of Shirley, Arkansas; eight grandchildren, Diane (Adam) Carlson, Tracy Levandoski, Andrea (Kyle) Waite, Sarah (Miguel) Mejia, Amanda (Andrew) Hagen, Kate Ostrowski (Tom Grode), Gabrielle Alberg and Matthew Alberg; 12 great-grandchildren, Grace Carlson, Anna Carlson, Austin Frederick, Aiden Frederick, Livia Waite, Hannah Waite, Cristian Mejia, Nick Mejia, Alex Mejia, Andrew Mersman, Alessandra Mersman and Asher Hagen; sisters-in law, Carole Krueger, Kay Krueger and Margaret Alberg; brothers-in-law, Henry Hoeksema and Bernard Alberg; and many special nieces and nephews who loved their Aunt Lorna.
Lorna was preceded in death by her husband, Robert; a son, Michael; her parents; and three siblings, Duane Krueger, Gerald Krueger and Joyce Hoeksema.
Visitation will be Saturday, Jan. 4, 2025, at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Wittenberg, at 1:45 p.m., followed by a celebration of life service at 3 p.m. honoring both Lorna and Robert. A private family graveside service will be held at Forest Home Cemetery, Wittenberg.
Schmidt and Schulta Funeral Home, Wittenberg, is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.
