Naomi W. Aberg passed away peacefully during the early morning hours of February 14, 2015 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin of natural causes.

Mrs. Aberg had been residing at Heritage Senior Living in Eau Claire since December of 2013. After living in Green Bay, Wisconsin for nearly 30 years she moved to Eau Claire to be closer to her son and only child, Attorney Joel L. Aberg, a shareholder in the law firm of Weld, Riley, Prenn & Ricci, S.C. with offices in Eau Claire, Black River Falls and Menomonie.

Mrs. Aberg was born Naomi W. Score in 1924 at La Porte, Minnesota. She was the middle daughter of three by John and Elsie Score of La Porte. John Score was the local banker and Elsie Score was a homemaker. The family moved to the small town of Vergas, Minnesota in 1936. Mr. Score reopened a bank that had been closed there since 1932. Eventually, Mr. Score and some partners purchased the Vergas State Bank and the family made their home in Vergas.

Naomi Score graduated from high school in Frazee, Minnesota and went on to attend St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota from 1942 until her graduation with a four-year degree in 1946. She loved her years at St. Olaf and maintained close relationships throughout her life with many of the friends she made during her college years. She was chosen by her fellow students as St. Olaf's homecoming queen in the Spring of '46.

Trained as a teacher, Naomi Score began her career as an educator at the public school system in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Later, she moved and took a teaching position in Viroqua, Wisconsin. While living in Viroqua she met Donald L. Aberg, the son of a local dairy farming family. Donald and Naomi were married in 1951 and initially lived in Westby, Wisconsin.

After a couple of years in Westby, Donald and Naomi Aberg moved to La Crosse, Wisconsin. Mrs. Aberg was active in local and regional church activities. In 1960, she was elected Secretary of Education for the American Lutheran Church Women (ALCW). During her service with ALCW, she promoted educational media produced by the American Lutheran Church (ALC), directed the ALCW's Bible study series, planned and conducted workshops and conventions, and was an instructor in the popular Bethel Bible Series. She also served for a time as La Crosse Conference representative at the Lutheran Welfare services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Loving classical music, especially Mozart, she also sang in the church choir. While in La Crosse she attended classes at Viterbo College.

In 1968, the Abergs moved to Wethersfield, Connecticut (outside of Hartford), where they lived for three years. They then moved to Kettering, Ohio (outside of Dayton), for three years before returning to Wisconsin in 1974-75. Their last home together was located in the Village of Ashwaubenon, a part of Green Bay.

Her husband, Donald, died in 1994 after retiring from his job in retail automobile sales, finance and service.

After leaving La Crosse, Mrs. Aberg continued to participate in church services and activities through the years. At the time of her death, she was a member of the Peace Lutheran Church in Eau Claire.

Naomi W. Aberg is survived by her younger sister, Mrs. Phyllis Schmidt, who resides in Longmont, Colorado, and by her son, Joel L. Aberg, of Eau Claire.
