St. Joseph’s flower shop named
for long-time volunteer
Emory Saint Joseph’s Hos
pital is honoring one of its
long-time volunteers by nam
ing the hospital’s in-house
flower shop after her.
Marguerite Oberg, now
91 years old, recently retired
from the hospital flower shop
after 40 years of volunteer ser
vice. She began volunteer
ing at Saint Joseph’s in 1973,
when the hospital was located
in downtown Atlanta, and es
tablished its first flower shop.
She has served as its volunteer
director ever since.
“Because of her years of
dedication and service to the
hospital, naming the flow
er shop after Marguerite is a
special way we can honor her
work and her commitment to
the hospital, its patients, and
staff,” Marcia Schwefler, Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital Auxiliary president, said in a
press release.
For decades, Oberg drove to a wholesale flower shop in downtown Atlanta once a
week to select the roses, lilies, carnations and other flowers to be arranged by the vol
unteers in the hospital’s gift shop. She was the subject of a “Making a Difference” ar
ticle in Reporter Newspapers in 2011.
“I loved my work at the hospital flower shop for the 40 years I was there, and am
touched the shop has been named after me,” Oberg said. “It takes a team of dedicated
ladies to produce the amount of flower arrangements we did for all those years, and
we made a great team.”
