Mabel was born in Mulvihill, MB on March 21, 1916 to Swedish immigrants, Walmer and Augusta Berg. She was the youngest of four sisters and she grew up on the family farm surrounded by music, love and laughter. Mabel had a love for gardening at her Charleswood home and she enjoyed picnics with her sisters and their families, watching her sons curl, a day at the horse races and gatherings of song and dance at Vasa Lund. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family and she was a very proud mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Mabel was predeceased by her husband Alfons Sjoblom of Abo, Finland in 1969; by her parents, Walmer and Augusta Berg; and Walmers second wife Gladys. Mabel was also predeceased by her Uncle Einar; and recently by her sisters, Violet Tonnellier and Vera Johnson.
