Lawrence Weber, an 87-year-old resident of Aline, OK, peacefully passed away on November 18, 2023, surrounded by his loving family at his home. Born on September 1, 1936, to Henry and Estella Maude (Meliza) Weber, Lawrence was the youngest of three children and was raised on the family farm, known as the Weber Centennial Farm, in Aline.
Lawrence attended Aline Public School, where he was an active participant in FFA, basketball, and baseball, graduating with the class of 1954. His dedication to agricultural pursuits earned him the State Farmer Degree in 1954, and he found joy in showing cattle, sheep, and pigs during his school years.
On August 14, 1959, Lawrence married the love of his life, Collene Shelite. Their union was blessed with two daughters, Stephanie and Donita, and a son, Mike. Lawrence was a devoted supporter of FFA and 4-H programs, encouraging his children to become involved in livestock projects and showing. He took Mike over to Clarence Waymon’s and purchased a bred Poland China gilt and the raising of show pigs grew from there. A few years later Stephanie and Donita got involved in showing sheep. When a new Agriculture Education Teacher, Larry Moore, came to Aline-Cleo and that’s when Lawrence expanded the family livestock enterprise by setting up Stephanie and Donita with their Hampshire and Southdown breeding ewes and raising sheep. Lawrence's true love and passion lay in farming and caring for livestock.
He was a member of the Aline-Cleo School Board and the Star Cemetery Board; Lawrence demonstrated his commitment to education and community service. He was also an active member of the Aline United Methodist Church. Lawrence’s all-time favorite was spending time with his family and grandchildren.
Lawrence is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Collene (Shelite) Weber, his parents, Henry, and Estella Maude (Meliza) Weber, his brother Charles Jake Weber, and his sister Mary (Weber) Fagala.
