Doris “Dorie” Weber, nee Oesterle, 93, of Belleville, IL, born January 17, 1927, in Belleville, IL, died Friday, July 24, 2020, at Memorial Hospital, Belleville, IL. She was a little fighter with a big beautiful heart, but the heart could not keep up with her anymore. After another fall and surgery, her loving heart finally stopped.

Mrs. Weber was a clerk at the former Fargo Liquor Store in Belleville for many years and made many patrons happy. She was a member of Christ United Church of Christ, a volunteer at Memorial Hospital, Belleville, a past president of the PTA at Union Grade School when her children were young, and a bowler in her earlier days. She was and avid St. Louis Cardinals fan and a part-time Washington Nationals fan.  Doris enjoyed Hallmark and Western movies, word search puzzles, and going out to dinner with the girls. Doris was fun and loving and loved to make people laugh. She is going to be missed by so many friends and family.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband and best friend, Vernon “Wimp” Weber, whom she married on June 12, 1948, and who died on April 19, 2007; her father and step-mother,  Henry and Helen Oesterle; her birth mother, Ida Mae, nee Frei, Oesterle; four brothers, Robert, Ernest “Hank” and Jack Oesterle, and Henry, in infancy; three sisters, Mina Smith, Selma Stenton, and Peggy Schovanez; a niece, Lida Gillham; a cousin, Madeline Kastel; a great-niece, Kristen Schmittling; and a dear friend, Alberta Belt.

Doris was the proud mother and is survived by a son, John H. (Cynthia) Weber of Annapolis, MD;
a daughter, Wanda L. (Arthur Sr.) Jacobs of Belleville, IL;
three grandchildren, Patricia (Alan) Thomas of Belleville, IL, and her children, Jason, Marissa, and Nathan;

and Arthur Jr. “Bud” (Krys) Jacobs of Belleville, IL, and his children, Peter (Yaminah Neal) Jacobs, and Stephanie (Michael Quispe) Jacobs;
a sister-in-law, Doris Oesterle of Belleville, IL;
many nieces, nephews, and cousins;

Wanda my heart breaks for you and John. Mom was a special lady. Her heart was made of love and gold. Her beauty and smile was amazing. Kindness was her middle name and I am proud and blessed to have been part of her world which was very large. You will miss her but her love and memories will always remain with you. Love and hugs my friend
