Maurice Eugene Weber, 84, of Newburgh, passed away Saturday, February 15, 2025, at St. Vincent Ascension – Evansville.
Maurice was born April 3, 1940, in Chrisney, to Leo Thomas and Anna Mae (Ballman) Weber. Maurice graduated from Chrisney High School in 1957 and then joined the United States Army, serving for a time in Germany. He came home and started working for Eastern Airlines in Chicago, moving over the years with his family to a number of cities after meeting the love of his life, Mary Catherine Mabee, in Atlanta in 1962. He went to college on the GI Bill and earned his private pilot’s license. His love of aviation and travel was exceeded by his love of family and his faith.
Maurice is survived by his daughters, Anna Byars (Kelly) and Maureen Stevens (Glenn); son, Scott Weber (Viola); grandchildren, Ryan Stevens, Neal Stevens, Erin Stevens, Maggie Byars, Jack Byars, and Caitie Byars; brothers Leon Weber, Norman Weber (Ruth), and Carroll Weber (Linda), and sister Roberta White (John); and numerous nieces and nephews.
