Her great-grandchildren are Brady and Cole Eatherton, Reese and Chase Eatherton, Aubrey and Jackson Ellerman, Jack Glisan, and Harris Miller.
A Creative Life
To many, Nan was Bud Weber’s childhood sweetheart and devoted postwar bride. But she was so much more. She was creative, quietly strong and courageous, especially in the years after Bud’s passing.
Her artistic talent emerged early at Sullivan High School, where she filled pages of the school’s yearbooks with her artwork and created floor-to-ceiling murals in the school hallways. Art classes at the Art Institute of Chicago encouraged her love of painting, which continued for years in oils, watercolors and pastels.
That same eye for color and design was evident throughout her life. She brought it to her home and gardens, creating beautiful spaces that could have appeared in a magazine. An expert seamstress, she designed and made outfits, coats and prom-perfect dresses for her daughters. She brought that same creativity to holidays, making them magical and memorable.
Nan had a gift for making ordinary moments beautiful. She leaves behind a family with memories of the beauty she created, the traditions she made special and the love she gave so generously.
Final Arrangements
In accordance with Nan’s wishes, she will be laid to rest beside Bud at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri. No formal memorial service is planned.
