Janet Lucille Barber Weis
I walked into the loving arms of Our Father in Heaven and the Mother of God, Mary, surrounded by my loving family at home in Layton, Utah on May 21, 2021.
I was born on July 17, 1937 in Evanston, Wyoming to Winston Beard Barber and Etta Lucille Hellewell. I grew up in Evanston and went to school. I graduated from Evanston High School in 1955. I attended the University of Wyoming for a year. I also attended Stevens Henager College in Ogden.
On September 7, 1956, I married the love of my life, John Charles Weis (Jack). Jack died on March 8th, 2020. We are the proud parents of seven children: John, Michelle, Winston, Jody, James, Wendy anddy Margarethe. We have eleven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Jack and I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah; Arco, Idaho; Pinedale, Wyoming; Spring, Utah; and in Layton, Utah for the past 55 years since 1966.
I was a member of the Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Layton and sang in the choir for over 30 years. The highlight was singing with the choir at a Sunday mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, Italy. I was a member of the Catholic Women’s Council and served as a civil servant several times. In 1996 I was named Woman of the Year. I was a Eucharistic minister teaching youth classes.
I was a Boy Scout, Cave, Brownie Boy Scout, and 4H leader. I enjoyed spending time with family, traveling, reading, scrapbooking, and cross stitching. Summers were enjoyed in our cabin in Glendale on the upper Weber River.
I worked for the Davis Mental Health and Substance Abuse Center (Davis Behavioral Health) in Farmington for 24 years and retired in 2000.
I am survived by our children: John (Virginia); Michelle Gideon; Winston (Marcie); Jody (Michelle); James (Kathy); Wendy DiGiacomo; Margaret “Maggie” (Ryan), grandchildren: Tyler, Jocelyne, Jeff, John, Jamie Lee, Russ, Ashley, Hayden, Gavin, Brooklynn, eight great-grandchildren, sister Wynn (Larry) Rice and sister-in-law Annette Weis.
