The Bakersfield Californian 
Katherine Langeland Nyberg
Nov. 8, 1917 Dec. 25, 2004

Katherine Langeland Nyberg, 87, passed away Christmas night, 2004 after a 
short illness and a most eventful life. Born November 8, 1917, she was 
preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Ralph Gerald Jerry Nyberg and 
her sister Ruth Follett, and is survived by her sister, Lorna Bolin of St. 
James, Minnesota; three children, Kenneth Nyberg, Christine DeYoung and Carol 
Nyberg; six grandchildren Kjerstie Nyberg Bourne, Kaaren Nyberg, Beth DeYoung, 
Jess DeYoung, Jered Baker, and Jessie Baker; daughter-in-law, Janice L. 
Nyberg, who doted on her and was especially loved. 

Born and raised on a farm outside Elbow Lake, Minnesota, Kay was a remarkably 
talented and successful woman. Her 10th birthday present was her own team of 
draft horses, and after graduating high school and attending business college 
she worked as an accountant and comptroller through the war years while her 
husband was in the U.S. Army Air Corps overseas. She spent most of her life in 
Minnesota, but after raising three children, she returned to work as a 
successful realty broker in Danville, California, where she and her husband 
lived for 24 years prior to moving to Bakersfield in June, 2000. She resided 
at Columbus Estates, where she was befriended and tenderly cared for by Maria 
Gaytau and her associates, Claudia and Lisa. 

She was an excellent cook, fine seamstress, able pianist, terrific dancer, 
avid reader and an intensely competitive bridge player. She was a gracious and 
fun hostess, a devoted and spoiling mother, and the love of her husband who 
she missed terribly after his passing. She will be interred with him at 
Hillcrest Memorial Park, and deeply missed by all who loved her. At the time 
of her passing, a large and distinct halo surrounded the moon over Bakersfield.

Chapel services will be held Wednesday, December 29, 2004, 10:00 a.m. at 
Hillcrest Chapel. Visitation will be Tuesday evening from 4-8 p.m., also at 
Hillcrest.
