Cynthia Ann Weberg

1932 - 2025

The world has lost yet another steward of the environment, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a teacher, a professor, and a friend. Cynthia Ann (Skelton) Weberg, 92, passed peacefully on March 27, 2025, in Forest Lake, MN.

A Forest Lake resident for over 23 years, she was born on August 19, 1932, in Urbana, IL. She grew up on several Army Bases, primarily in Denver, CO. She went to the University of Colorado, Boulder for undergrad and graduate school, earning her Master's of Chemistry. She met her husband, Bert, in graduate school, and they were married in 1958. (That is 66 1/2 years!)

She spent most of her life in Minnesota with Bert, 94. Cynthia and Bert raised four children: Rolf (Elizabeth) of Duluth, MN, Erik (Sharon) of Portland, OR, Kate (Mike) Stumpf of North St. Paul, MN, and Neil (Cara) of Duluth, MN.

Family was very important to Cynthia, hence the annual summer trips to Colorado to visit her parents and share her love of Rocky Mountain National Park in many backpacking trips. Her love of the outdoors, gardening, camping, and protecting our earth's natural resources has been instilled in her children.

Cynthia was a Professor of Chemistry at Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato for 18 years; she deeply loved all her students.

In Mankato, she spent her spare time volunteering and leading various community organizations: Cub Scouts, Webelos, Boy Scouts, and Campfire Girls. She taught science and math at Mankato's Juvenile Correctional Facility to those needing help acquiring their GED. She played clarinet in the Mankato Symphony Orchestra. She was very active in her churches, directing adult and children's choirs and instrumentalists, and helping organize many other programs within the church.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Olga and Edward F. Skelton of Denver, CO, and her sister, Mary Helen Stephens of Valdez, AK.

She is survived by her husband, four children, seven grandchildren, three nieces, each of their families, and many grand-pets.

The family wishes to remain private in celebrating Cynthia's life: good music, food, loud laughter, many memories, and deep joy. Any contributions toward her life's memory are deeply appreciated and should be sent to The Ocean Conservancy.

The Earth cannot survive without its oceans!
