Barbara Ann (Weber) Martin

Barbara Ann (Weber) Martin passed away suddenly, but peacefully, at Listowel Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025 after a brief hospital stay. 

 

The beloved wife of the late Lyle Martin (2012), Barb was the cherished mom of Grant and Pam Martin of Pakenham and Wanda and Jeremy Heibein of Listowel. She was the proud grandma of Todd, Neil (Mikayla), Adam, Graham; Jamari, Jada, and Marcus. 
Barb was the loving sister of David and Wendy Weber, Glen and Bonnie Weber, John and Ellen Weber, Richard Weber, and Mary Lou and Russ Loan, and Frank Schatz, and the dear sister-in-law of Joyce and Cliff Freeman, Jim Martin (Helen), Doreen and Ken Martin, Lynne Martin, and Arlene Martin. 

 

She will be fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, and special cousin Heather Morrison. 

 

Barb was predeceased by her parents, Vernon and Ruby Weber, grandson Ross, and in-laws; Cathy Weber, Glennis and Maurice Koenig, and Claude Martin. 

 

Barb was always passionate about her gardens and flower beds. On the farm, she had beautiful flowers and a large vegetable garden and, even when she moved into town, she brought her love of flowers and plants, only downsizing a little bit. Her mission through the Listowel Mennonite Church Sewing Circle contributed to the production of hundreds of handmade quilts donated to the Mennonite Central Committee relief effort.  Above all, her family and her faith were important to her, and she cherished each moment spent with her children and grandchildren. 

 

Visitation was held at Eaton Funeral Home, Listowel, on Sunday, Jan. 5. Barb’s funeral service was held at the Listowel Mennonite Church on Monday, Jan. 6. Interment at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Ethel.

 

Donations in Barb’s memory may be made to the Listowel Mennonite Church - Community Suppers.
