Mary Frances Weber

Mary Frances Weber, a cherished artist, beloved family member, and friend to all who knew her, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2025, after a long illness. Born on May 29, 1949, in Detroit, Mary's vibrant spirit and infectious smile were a beacon of light throughout her 76 years of life.

Mary's journey began in the heart of Motor City, where she grew up surrounded by the love and laughter of her family. She was a true Detroit native, whose roots ran deep in the community she adored. In the autumn of 1986, Mary's life was forever changed when she married her soulmate, Barry, in a beautiful ceremony in Harper Woods.

Professionally, Mary dedicated several years of her life to the Stan Sax Corp of Detroit, where her colleagues became a second family. Her commitment to her work was unwavering until she took medical retirement, after which she devoted her time to her true passion-art. Mary's artistic talents were unparalleled; she had a unique gift for designing and drawing clothing for female fashion models that captured the essence of elegance and style.

Mary's creativity was not limited to her sketches; she also found solace and pleasure in stamped cross-stitch and reveled in the majesty of riding horses. Her love of animals was profound, and she shared a special bond with her beloved cat, Pearl. Mary's affection for animals was a testament to her kind and compassionate nature.

A woman of diverse interests, Mary enjoyed the melodies of country and rock music, often finding herself lost in the lyrics and tunes that spoke to her soul. Her outgoing and social demeanor made her a favorite companion among her circle of friends. Mary's presence at any gathering guaranteed laughter, warmth, and genuine camaraderie.

Mary's legacy is carried on by her devoted husband, Barry, her loving son, Albert, and her half-sister, Velma Harris, along with several nieces, nephews, and a host of friends who were fortunate to be part of her life's journey. She was preceded in death by her sister, Denarae Harris, whose memory she held close to her heart.

To describe Mary as merely friendly would be an understatement; she was a beacon of kindness, a pillar of support, and a true friend. Her ability to connect with others, to share in their joys and sorrows, made her an unforgettable presence in the lives of those she touched.

As we bid farewell to Mary Frances Weber, we celebrate a life lived with passion, a heart filled with love, and a spirit that will continue to inspire. Her memory will live on in the artwork she created, the lives she influenced, and the love she shared. Mary's story is not one of an end but a beautiful reminder of the impact one life can have on so many. She will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever cherished.
