Johanna A Nieberg

Johanna Nieberg, affectionately called Omie and Mamo by those closest to her, passed away on Tuesday, April 3, 2018. Johanna was born on December 11 of 1917 in Leiden, Holland, to the late Maarten and Antonia van Zwieten de Blom. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Mien Lambrechts and Fien van Vliet. Johanna is survived by her daughter Vivian Livelsberger and her husband Steve, of San Diego, California; brother Maarten van Zwieten de Blom; granddaughter Debbie Williams and her husband Danny, of Las Vegas, Nevada; grandson Chris Livelsberger and his wife Wanda, of San Diego, California; granddaughter Anne McAdam and her husband Kevin, of San Marcos, California; seven great grandchildren; and one great great granddaugher.

Johanna grew up and spent her early adult years in Holland until the end of World War II, when she and her daughter began their journey that would ultimately end up in the United States, and settled in San Diego, CA. Johanna's natural talents in science and medicine, culminated with her retirement from nursing after 10 years at Sharp Memorial Hospital. Family and friends will always recall her selflessness, incredible love, and generosity to everyone around her.

A celebration of life will be held in the coming months, and will be announced through family members. In lieu of flowers, Johanna would have appreciated any charitable gifts to the Braille Institute, to help individuals and their families cope with blindness.
