Betty Jean McCoy Oberg passed away peacefully at her home on December 31, 2020, surrounded by her loved ones. Betty Jean was born to Don J and Gertrude McCoy of Baraboo, Wisconsin, on October 14, 1930. Later, she got a younger brother, Dean McCoy, in 1938.
When she was seven, they moved to Utah for a drier climate. Betty Jean attended Taylor Elementary, Payson Jr High, and graduated from Payson High School. She enjoyed her years in the local schools.
She married Bernard Oberg in September of 1947. They moved to Genola, where they made their home for 17 years, until 1967, when they moved to Payson. They resided in Payson until both their deaths. Betty Jean and Bernard were the parents of two children: Carol (Mike) Pulver of Payson, Utah; and Gary (Vicky) Oberg of Delta, Utah.
Betty Jean spent many years working at Utah Sportswear. She loved to travel with family and enjoyed reading books that she would get from the book exchange. She enjoyed all of the employees that she volunteered with at Peteetneet Cultural Arts Center for many years, as they have come and gone. She also enjoyed giving tours to people as they would come through the museum. Sometimes, she would even call her grandson, Brad, to get the “inside track” and let them know if the canyon was safe to drive up. Betty Jean enjoyed attending the Payson City Band concerts.
Betty Jean is survived by her daughter, Carol Pulver; son, Gary (Vicky) Oberg; 10 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren, 6 step-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Dean (Maxine) McCoy; her aunt, Ellen Gassner; and two nephews. She was a Grandma and Friend to everyone.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Gertrude McCoy; her husband, Bernard Oberg; uncle, Harold Lindley; and son-in-law, Michael Pulver.
A graveside service will be held on Friday, January 8, 2021, at 12 p.m. at the Payson City Cemetery, 400 North 800 East, Payson.

January 6, 2021 at 12:46 amBeautiful picture and a beautiful lady. It’s so hard to lose our parents. A pain you never get over. I still see in my minds eye, Carol, and Aunt Betty going to the store for dinner groceries every day. What a special relationship you two had. She was so lucky to have you for the selfless care and time you gave her. Something you will never forget and realize how bless you are to have been there. Hugs to all of you, she will be greatly missed. Love you all, Jan Oberg

January 10, 2021 at 4:00 amDear Carol and Gary,
I just learned of your moms passing today ..I am so sorry to hear this .
I loved your mom > She always , always had her beautiful smile on when ever I saw her.
What fun memories of your folks when you lived in Genola and they were close friends with my folks.
Be it a picnic with kids or playing games at our house ,your Moms laughter filled the room and she and your Dad always brought light and life with them.
I always admired the special relationship you Carol had with your mom.. You were always one..so close and such good friends …that is something few have.
I know there is a big hole in your hearts with her gone . I wish there were some words I could say to help.
I think of the great reunion she and Bernard are having..such a long time being apart I am sure they are laughing and smiling.
May your memories hold her close and may Our Heavenly Father wrap His arms around you to bring you peace and comfort…..Love Sandy Thomas Greenwood
