CAROLINE ABERG

ABERG--Dr. Caroline. Dr. Caroline (Anni) Anna Margaretha Aberg, age 51, of Roslyn Harbor, Long Island passed away on Thursday, February 8, 2024, at St. Francis Hospital on Long Island, New York with her loving husband, three young children and her sister by her side. Caroline was born on June 3, 1972, in Stockholm, Sweden to Soren and Ulla-Britt Aberg and grew up on the neighboring scenic and beautiful island of Lidingo, part of the inner Stockholm Archipelago. She graduated from Stockholm's Enskilda Gymnasiet School in 1991. She went on to Karolinska Institutet Medical School in Stockholm, Sweden where she graduated with an MD degree in 1997. Caroline worked as a physician in Sweden until 2001. In 2001, she made the bold decision to move halfway across the world to America where she worked at The University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, Virginia until 2002. In 2003, Caroline chose to advance her career even further and pursued a medical residency training program in breast imaging radiology in New York which she completed in 2008 and became a specialist in breast imaging and breast cancer at New York University Medical Center in Manhattan. Caroline worked until 2018 when she was forced to retire due to illness. On May 23, 2009, Caroline was united in marriage to the love of her life, Sam Sayeed, at Tavern on the Green in Manhattan's Central Park with many relatives and friends from Sweden in attendance. Together, they lived in Manhattan until 2017 where they had three sweet, beautiful boys, Oscar in 2011 and twins Carl and Philip in 2012. In 2017, they moved to the original family homestead of her husband on the scenic North Shore of Long Island, a region that Caroline loved, where they lived until Caroline's passing due to a sudden and unexpected complication of a long illness. A Swedish treasure, Caroline was an amazing, kind and wonderful person who will be sadly missed by many. Caroline dedicated her life to her three children and husband. Her loyalty, devotion, commitment, and adoration for her three children and her husband is an inspiration to us all. Caroline was an extremely dedicated, loving, caring and devoted mother to her three children and a loyal, loving, and doting wife to her husband. Her children and her husband were her whole life, and they meant the world to her. She adored, cherished, and treasured her three children and husband more than anything in the world and her greatest joy in life was being able to spend as much time with them as possible. Despite the long distance, she remained extremely close and committed to her sister Helene and her parents. Caroline also greatly enjoyed visiting with her other relatives and friends in Sweden and friends in America. Although she left Sweden in 2001, she maintained a very close connection and bond with her beloved Swedish homeland, traveling there with her husband and children twice a year at Christmas and in the summer to enjoy the wonder and beauty of a Scandinavian Christmas and the breathtaking scenery of a Nordic summer and to expose her family to all the amazing things that Sweden had to offer. Caroline had many hobbies. She enjoyed traveling to new places all over the world, sailing, playing tennis, cross country and downhill skiing, water skiing, swimming, long walks on the beach where she would try to walk a different beach every weekend (her favorites were Malen and Bastad beaches in Sweden; Flanders, Red Creek, Ponquogue, Tiana, Sagg Main, Ditch Plains, Sebonac, Ransom, Stehli, Sea Cliff and Bar Beaches on Long Island, Mohegan Bluffs, North Light and Benson Beaches on Block Island and Ogunquit Beach in Maine) and home decorating, gardening and trying new restaurants and cuisines. Caroline loved the scenic North Shore of Long Island and its seacoast and greatly enjoyed the six and a half years she was able to live there. Despite the pain and suffering inflicted on her by her long illness, she remained a brave, strong and amazing woman who never ever complained and no matter the treatments and hardships she endured, she continued to be beautiful and inspirational and led life with great dignity and sweet understanding and remained fully devoted to her children and husband. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents Gosta and Dagmar Kallerhag and paternal grandparents Nils and Margit Aberg. Caroline is survived and forever missed by her beloved husband, soulmate, best friend and favorite beach walking partner, Sam; her beloved and cherished three young children Oscar, Philip, and Carl; beloved pet dog Zeus; cherished parents Soren and Ulla-Britt Aberg; beloved sister Helene Aberg; an aunt, uncle, cousins, and several other relatives who all still live in Sweden. Caroline is also survived by a large group of very special and close friends in Sweden who she knew since childhood. She is survived by many new friends she made after moving to America in New York, Long Island, Minnesota, and Florida whose company she also greatly enjoyed. Memorial service and visitation will be at the Svenska Kyrkan (Swedish Church of New York) at 5 East 48 Street in Midtown Manhattan on Sunday, March 17, 2024, at 4pm with a reception to immediately follow at Aquavit at 65 East 55th Street in Midtown Manhattan.
