Vernal "Vern" Merrill Lindberg Obituary (1930 - 2013)

Vernal Merrill Lindberg North Ogden - Vernal Merrill Lindberg - Beloved husband, father, brother and grandfather passed away February 21, 2013 at the age of 82. Vern was born November 9, 1930, to Axel Justus and Ethel Laura Olson Lindberg in Osmond, Wyoming. He was the youngest of eight children, raised in Star Valley Wyoming and graduated from Star Valley High School. Vern married Donna Lue Hoopes on July 19, 1966 in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Vern and Donna made their home in the Bay area of California. They owned Lindberg's Styling and Pro-Fab Detailing. Although sales were his profession, which he enjoyed, his favorite past -time was flying his own Piper plane with Donna at his side. Still, he will always be remembered for: his cowboy boots and hat; his love of country music and dancing; playing his harmonica and fiddle; detailing his cars; and a home cooked steak. Always vocal, everyone knew where you stood with Vern, which was attributed to his Swedish heritage. He was always very proud of his roots. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Survivors include his wife Donna; son, Bryan (Susan); grandson, Jonathan (Melanie); great-grandsons, Alexander and Nicholas, and his brother Wilton of Osmond, Wyoming. Vern is preceded in death by his parents and six siblings. The family would like to thank A Step Forward and the Mt. Ogden Rehabilitation Center for their compassion and care.
