Hilda Weber Obituary

Hilda N. Weber

Bonita Springs, FL

Hilda N. Weber, 96, of Bonita Springs passed peacefully from this life on October 24, 2017. As with most of her life, her final days and hours were spent surrounded by family. A loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend, she loved to help everyone and never said "no" to someone in need.

Born May 25, 1921 in Pittsburgh (Millvale), Penn., Hilda was full of energy, enjoyed singing, dancing and being the life of the party. She worked as a switchboard operator while her husband served in World War II, then served as assistant to the principal at Espe Elementary School in Pittsburgh. After retirement and her move to Florida, she led talent shows and events in her Southern Pines community and participated in the Bonita Village Band. Her adventurous spirit took her on trips around the country and the world, including riding a camel in Egypt at age 80.

Hilda's servant heart led her to Florida's Southern Gulf Chapter of the American Red Cross, where she volunteered well into her 90s, serving on the agency's Emergency Response Vehicle at disaster sites across the country. Her dedication and service led to her recognition as a Clara Barton Award winner in 2011.

Mostly, though, Hilda loved her family, and her best times were "when everyone is together," as she'd say. She was predeceased by the love of her life, Roy Weber, in 1999, her daughter Kathy Lane in 1997, as well as brothers, sisters, numerous family members and friends.

Hilda is survived by her daughter, Christine (Thomas) Rossetti, grandchildren Mike (Pam) Rossetti, Chip (Denise) Rossetti, Tom (Amy) Rossetti, Brian (Allie) Lane and Kevin Lane, as well as five great-grandchildren.

Special thanks go out to the nurses and staff at Vitas Hospice, who stayed by her side and helped in so many ways during the final weeks.

A Memorial Mass will take place Thurs., Nov. 2 at 11 a.m. at St. Leo's Catholic Church in Bonita Springs, followed by a Celebration of Life luncheon at the church.

In lieu of flowers, family requests donations in Hilda's name be made to the Florida's Southern Gulf Chapter of the American Red Cross, 2610 Northbrooke Plaza Dr.; Naples, FL 34119. Online condolences may be offered by visiting www.ShikanyFuneralHome.com.
