Sandra Weber
May 11, 2014
Sandra Fay Clark Weber died on Mothers' Day, May 11, 2014 at the San Antonio Military Medical Center after a quest to recapture her freedom of movement and quality of life.
Ms. Weber was a musician, a visual artist, a dancer, a scholar, a teacher, a wife, a mother, a grandmother and a globetrotter. Ms. Weber played her way through Texas Wesleyan College on a Band Scholarship, pledging Sigma Alpha Iota. She began painting with oil and tried just about every other medium in the years to follow. While never a fan dancer, Ms. Weber's rug cutting through the years was legendary and only slowed in the last few years. Far from frivolous, however, Ms. Weber took her Masters at Western Kentucky University in special education. She used her new degree to continue a teaching career that began at the Children's Museum in Fort Worth and continued in Houston, Fort Knox, Munich and Augsburg, Germany, Bowling Green, Kentucky, Alburquerque, Virginia Beach, Oxen Hill, Maryland, Killeen, El Paso, Seoul, Tularosa, New Mexico and Guangdong, China. She got around. Ms. Weber is survived by her children, Lynda Gayle Carrasco of Buda, Texas and David Reid Weber of Anchorage, Alaska. She was also graced with grandchildren she loved and spoiled, William Joseph Carrasco and Jaxyn Lee Fay Awapuhemelemele Weber. Ms. Weber, recently divorced and with two young children, met and married the love of her life, Lt. William Joseph Weber in 1963. She followed him through his postings, career and retirement for three continents and thirty years until his passing in October of 1993. Ms. Weber directed that her remains join her husband's in Arlington National Cemetery. To that end, formal services will be held in Washington D.C. at the Church of St. Monica and St. James at a future date. In the two decades after her husband's death Ms. Weber traveled the United States seeing friends, went to Alaska often to see her son and his family, saw China, Thailand, Greece, Turkey, Norway, Germany (again) and Russia. Again, she got around.
Ms. Weber's family requests no flowers. Instead, continue to root for the Spurs, go to and/or fund the McNay and live an adventure. We love ya' Ma.
