Valerie Weber

Mrs. Valerie Weber, 84, passed away peacefully on Thursday morning, July 25, 2019, at her current residence at Homestead Hills in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Born in Chester, Pennsylvania on November 25, 1934, she is the daughter of Edward and Frances Lusczcewski.

Valerie is a graduate of Notre Dame High School, and shortly thereafter started working for Westinghouse. She spent the next 30 years with Westinghouse as a draftswoman in the engineering department, first in the Lester, PA, plant and then transferring to the Winston Salem plant in 1984. She was a woman before her time, and one of the only female draftspersons in a field that was dominated by males. She also chaired the United Way committee during her years at Westinghouse.

Valerie was a member of St Leo the Great Catholic Church and Saint Theresa’s Guild. After retirement she volunteered at Forsyth Hospital for 23 years, wanting to give back to her community. She also worked part time as an interpreter and tour guide at Old Salem’s MESDA (Museum of Early Decorative Arts) for over 16 years.  She loved the arts and instilled that passion in her children.

Valerie resided in Pfafftown, North Carolina with her husband of 36 years, Walt Weber. She is survived by her husband Walt; two sisters, Ellie Keithly and Loretta Lech; two children, John DiSciullo and Valerie Midgett; two step children, Jeff Weber and Robyn Crandall; two grandchildren, Ashely Crandall and Max Midgett; beloved cat, Snowflake; and many extended family members and friends.

Valerie was a beautiful and inspiring person. She was a shining example of integrity and honesty in her relationships and raised her children in the light of her unconditional love.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, August 2, 2019, at St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, 335 Springdale Ave, Winston-Salem, NC 27104, with a reception following the service.
