It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Donna Weber on the morning of June 25th.

Donna lived for her family. A beloved wife and mother, she was the cornerstone of our family and was deeply loved by so many. Days before her passing, she shared how amazing and fulfilled her life had been. Her warmth, brightness, and curiosity drew people toward her.

She is survived by her husband, Duane; her daughter Lesley Smith and son-in-law Brad; her son Sam Weber and son-in-law Guido Avelino; and three grandchildren she adored with all her heart: Liam, Jase, and Ellie. She was preceded in death by her daughter Marissa Lynn Clark.

Donna will be deeply missed by her sister, cousins, aunt, and the wonderful group of lifelong friends she cherished ever so dearly. She lived and gained so much over her long years, and she was grateful to share every chapter of it with the people she loved. Always a fighter, never gave up.

Donna requested the following be read at the time of her death:
