1909-2001

Ruth Weber, beloved wife of the late Joseph H. Weber, passed away peacefully at the Boundary Trails Health Centre on Saturday, July 28, 2001. Born May 30, 1909, Ruth was the daughter of T.M. and Helen M. Hobkirk-Bradford. She was predeceased by her parents and also by her good friend and sister, Dorothy, in 1981. Ruth was also predeceased by her sister Helen and brother Kirk in infancy.

On August 6, 1948, Ruth was united in marriage to Joe Weber, son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Weber. They lived happily on the family farm northwest of Morden until Joe passed away suddenly on September 5, 1988.

Ruth took up residence in Morden in 1991 and subsequently moved to the Wellington Retirement Home in Winnipeg in 2000 where she remained until her passing.

Left to mourn her passing are John P. and Clara Weber, Charles and Bev Weber, Wilda Bradford-Brant, Raylene and John Eberl, and Doug and Colleen Brownridge; as well as many, many close friends.

There will be a service of remembrance at Wiebe’s Funeral Chapel in Morden at 1:00pm on Thursday, August 2. Following the interment at Hillside Cemetery, there will be a luncheon in the reception area of the funeral chapel for family and friends.

Seven honorary pallbearers were chosen from Ruth’s many loyal friends, Phyllis Binda, Denise Steedsman, Dorothy Douglas, Dorothy McCulloch, Fenella Temmerman, Els Tessier, and Sylvia Mutcheson.
