Janet Lucille Barber Weis
On May 21, 2021, I passed into the loving arms of our Heavenly Father and Blessed Mother Mary, surrounded by my loving family back in Layton, Utah.
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 there. 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.
I married the love of my life, John Charles Weis (Jack), on September 7, 1956. Jack died on March 8, 2020. We are the proud parents of seven children: John, Michelle, Winston, Jody, James, Wendy and Margaret. We have eleven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Jack and I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah; Arco, Idaho; Pinedale, Wyoming; Vernal, Utah; and in Layton, Utah for 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 an officer several times. I was named Woman of the Year in 1996. I was minister of the Eucharist and taught youth education courses.
I was a Boy Scout, Cave Guide, Brownie Girl Scout Guide, and 4H Leader. I enjoyed spending time with my family, traveling, reading, doing scrapbooking, and doing cross stitches. The summers were enjoyed in our cabin in Glendale on the upper Weber River.
I worked for the Davis Behavioral Health Center 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.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, May 28, 2021 at the Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church, 210 Chapel Street, Layton, Utah. Friends can join the family on Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Lindquists Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Road, visit. A vigil with a rosary takes place at 7:30 p.m.
