With family at her side, Jane passed away at the age of 85, on Thursday, January 31, 2019, at her home in Wadena, under the tender care of her family and Knute Nelson Homecare & Hospice.
Jane was born, one of twelve children, to Peter and Margaret (Hopp) Richter on November 1, 1933, in Wadena, MN. After graduation from Wadena High School, she worked as a telephone operator for Northwestern Bell Telephone for over 20 years. Jane was united in marriage with Ervin Herman Weber at St. Ann’s Catholic Church, in Wadena, on May 9, 1955.
Jane’s passion in life was bringing joy to others. The community will remember her performing with her sisters, Mary and Eleanor, as the “Singing Grandmas”. They shared their love of music and laughter at hospitals, nursing homes, with shut-ins, at Empty Stocking and other special community events. She always looked for ways to care for others. Jane especially savored time spent with her children, grandkids and great-grandkids. She was an active member of Christian Mothers and the church choir. She served as St. Ann’s Catholic School librarian and chaired the church rummage sales and bazaar.
Jane was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ervin, on October 26, 2018; an infant son; her parents, Peter and Margaret; brothers Raymond, Robert, Edmond, James and Donald Richter; sisters, Eleanor Roggenkamp, Veronica Behmen, and Mary Lehmkuhl; and grandson, Matthew Dworshak.
