MIDDLETON - Carol Ruth Weber, 88, formerly of Merrill, left this earth to begin her new life in Christ on March 3, 2026, at her residence in Middleton, Wis. She was born in Merrill on May 30, 1937, to Selma (Beine) and George Henrich. She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, three brothers, and nieces and nephews.

Carol graduated from Merrill High School in 1955 and UW-La Crosse in 1959, with a Physical Education major. She married Wilburn Weber in April of 1960. They were blessed with 65 years together as husband and wife. Surviving family members include her husband, Bill; children, Ann (Greg) Engelstad, Pete (Courtney) Weber, Steve (Barbara) Weber and Katharine (John) Upson; 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

A longtime Merrill resident, Carol was devoted to her community and the world around her.

She was a missionary with The Good News Project (West Indies) and the UCC (Ghana). She co-founded The CROP Walk in Merrill and was actively involved in numerous projects with Habitat for Humanity.

Carol loved being at home on Silver Lake. Spending time there with family and friends brought her endless happiness. She was a loving caretaker of her family, extended family and all of God’s creation.

We will miss you, but we promise to live as you taught us to live with faith, commitment and love.
