Oh goodie, glad I read this! Here's a chance to give a shout out to my favorite people in the universe: librarians (and hope you don't mind my using your query as an excuse, lol). Of course it's never fair to stereotype, BUT, perhaps it's okay to say librarians are typically patient, helpful, resourceful, intelligent, knowledgeable, and accessible free of charge. When/if you ask your question at the Brooklyn library, consider adding more details about the person in question, as there could be various options for obits - for example, publications aimed at a small group such as an ethnic group, religious body, trade union, neighborhood, and so on.
Brooklyn Public Library "Ask a Librarian" feature:

One popular neighborhood in Brooklyn for Norwegian immigrants was the Bay Ridge neighborhood. The Brooklyn Library holds copies of the The Bay Ridge Courier from 1978 onward. Just one possibility.

Here's what comes up when searching the Brooklyn library website for Brooklyln newspapers generally:

Finding "candidate" newspapers doesn't get you to the obit, however. You need to go to the library to do the look up - or if you cannot, find someone nearby, or someone with a subscription to a relevant online database, to do so. The latter could be found on this website, maybe. If not then consider posting a look-up request on a New York genealogy site.
Hope this helps a little bit.
