Ilene Weber, 93, peacefully passed into eternal life on June 1, 2017 in Tucson, Arizona. Ilene was born to Henry Clay and Ruth Clain Keever on the family farm in Maryville, Missouri and was preceded in death by her four siblings: Gerald Keever, Nelson Keever, Maxine Peter and Helen Bartlett.
Her husband, Don Weber, who passed away in Tucson in 2014, also preceded Ilene in death. Ilene is survived by sons Ron Vulgamott (Tucson, Arizona), Jay Weber (Las Vegas, Nevada), daughter, Jeanne Weber (Frederick, Colorado), sister-in-law, Lois Jean Keever (Maryville, Missouri), and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Ilene graduated from Maryville High, attended Northwest Missouri State, where she attained a teaching certificate and taught in area schools.Ilene moved to Colorado in 1954, settled in Longmont in 1957, where she met and married Don; they enjoyed 47 years of matrimony. Ilene attended the First United Methodist Church where she was an active and diligent member of the United Methodist Women and belonged to the Elizabeth Fellowship. Ilene worked at J. C. Penney’s for 15 years when it was located on Main Street; there she headed the children’s department and was fond of outfitting little ones. Ilene enjoyed her church, walking, traveling, camping, hiking, gardening, sewing, crafts, crochet, cooking, baking and canning to name a few. Ilene and Don for many years could be caught tearing up the square dance floor. She continually demonstrated her love and care for family and friends with delicious dinners, tasty baked goods and Ilene’s beautifully crochet afghans and creative patchwork comforters warmed and blessed her family. She was a meticulous, energetic and tough-as-nails farm girl. Her ashes will be placed alongside her husband’s at Foothill Gardens. The Lord love and keep you grammy, until we meet again.
Celebration of her life will be held at The Heart of Longmont-First United Methodist Church, on Saturday, July 22, 2017 at 10:00 am with a graveside service following at Foothills Gardens of Memory, 14241 N.107th, Longmont, Colorado, 80504.
