Obituary of Mary Patricia Weber

Mary (McDonough)Weber, wife, mother, sister, aunt, teacher and friend, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family after a long battle with cancer on Sunday September 14,2014. Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of John McDonough, originally of County Galway, Ireland, and Anne Butler McDonough, originally of County Mayo, Ireland. She graduated from St. Hubert's High School and Gwynedd Mercy College, where she obtained a degree in education. She taught in Philadelphia-area parochial and public schools for 18 years. She married Tom Weber in 1976 and together they were devoted parents to three children, Mary Kate, Tom, and Andrew. In addition to being a loving wife and mother, she was very active in her parish community, St. Philip Neri in Lafayette Hill. As a first-generation American she wasn't able to meet most of her extended family until she traveled to Ireland for the first time in 2004; one of the highlights of her life was sharing that experience with her husband and children. In addition to her husband and children, she is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Jack and Terry McDonough of Souderton, a sister, Anne Bogucki of Philadelphia, and many nieces, nephews and friends. The kind, gentle and graceful way that Mary lived her life was an inspiration to many. She often credited Padre Pio's philosophy to "pray, hope and don't worry" with giving her strength during her cancer battle and the family asks that you honor her by keeping this quote in your thoughts. Mary's viewing will be on Thursday Eve. 9/18 from 6-8pm and also Friday 9:30-10:30am at Saint Philip Neri Church, 437 Ridge Pike,Lafayette Hill,Pa.19444. Funeral mass will be at 10:30am Friday.
