Walberg went to South Africa in the 1890s to work as a missionary, serving the Church of Sweden.[4] In addition to her work as a missionary, she also collected several ethnographical objects. She later donated these to the Swedish Museum of Natural History.[5]

She married Erik Gustaf Walberg in 1897, a priest and missionary at the missionary center in Ekutuleni.[6]
