Suzanne Weber

COLEBROOK – Suzanne Weber, 82, of Colebrook, died peacefully on Wednesday afternoon, April 22, 2015, at the Country Village Healthcare Center in Lancaster, NH, surrounded by her loved ones and caretakers, and after a long period of failing health. She was born in Buffalo, NY, on Oct. 5, 1932, a daughter of the late John and Irma (Lowe) Hoffman. Sue spent her early years living in the city before her family moved to a small farm in Williamsville, NY. There, her father bought her a palomino horse that she rode back to the city to show her best friend and neighbor, a ride that delighted her friend and the city dwellers, but was the source of much consternation to her parents. In Williamsville, she met one of her brother’s friends, Howie Weber. She fell in love with him at a barn dance and he became the center of her world. Together, they rode horses, went fishing and hunting. Eventually, they married and had a baby boy that Sue named Howie. Her husband went off for military service during the Korean conflict, and Suzanne and her baby boy lived in a rented room until his return. They all then moved to Cheektowaga, NY, and bought a house. Soon came another son who they named Bob. They raised their boys to respect all of humanity, love the outdoors, and follow the lessons taught in the Bible. Later, the Webers moved to Colebrook to be near where their sons had settled. Sue and Howie bought a log home on Forbes Hill Road and lived out their dreams, growing a large garden, camping and fishing on Lake Umbagog, and enjoying the beautiful view from their back deck. After Howie’s death, Sue stayed in the house for many years until she moved to Colby Commons, where she enjoyed the company of other residents. Eventually, her health began to fail, but her spirit remained high until the sunset of her life. She will always be remembered by those she loved as a kind, welcoming, and generous person to the end. Sue is survived by her two sons, Howard Weber and wife Kate of Pensacola, Fla., and Robert Weber and wife Sylvie of Colebrook; a sister, Maryanne Faubert of Buffalo, NY; and three grandchildren, Nicholas and wife Bianca, Samuel, and Allison Weber; her granddaughter-in-law Alicia Weber; and two great-grandchildren, Kael and Bristol Weber. She is predeceased by her loving husband, Howard, in 1995; two brothers, Fred and Jack Hoffman; and two grandsons, Charles and Jacob Weber. At Suzanne’s specific request, there are no public services scheduled. A private celebration of her life will take place at a later date. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Mrs. Weber may be made directly to the Country Village Healthcare Center, 91 Country Village Rd., Lancaster, NH 03584.
