Vineta Weber celebrates 100th birthday

ODESSA – Vineta L. Weber celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends on a very cold Saturday, January 23, outside of Odessa Memorial Hospital’s Long-Term Care unit. Attending were her son Anthony Weber and his wife Loretta of Kent, Wash., daughter Susan Boyce from Hillsboro, Ore., granddaughter Toni Lynn Weber of Everett, Wash, granddaughter Robin and Charles King and great-grandsons C.J., Zack and Noah of Stanwood and family friend Rick Haase of Odessa, sharing cake and fond memories of their beloved Vineta.

Vineta was born in Lind in 1921 and later married Sam Weber, who died in 1990. In her 100 years on this Earth, she has touched many hearts and passed her vigor for life on to her vast family members, all of whom share memories of baking with their grandmother, making her favorite German foods and, of course, anything with chocolate.
