FOREST CITY - Edell Westerberg, age 81 of Forest City, died Wednesday, March 7, 2012, at Mercy Medical Center North Iowa in Mason City.

Edell C. Westerberg was born in Burchinal, Iowa, on March 28, 1930, the daughter of Henry and Thora (Elwood) Nelson. She received her education in rural school near her home and graduated from Clear Lake High School in 1947.

More recently, Edell worked at Harrison's, Forest Fashions, the Chuck Wagon, and Johnson's Hallmark. She was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church where she was active in circle and enjoyed serving for special church events. She enjoyed her flower gardens and loved going shopping and antiquing. For years she supported her grandchildren by attending their athletic games and sharing their sports interests on television.
