Mary Alice Cowher Webber, 70, of Butler, passed away on May 26, 2020 at Good Samaritan Hospice in Cabot. She was born on September 23, 1949 in New Castle, the daughter of Woodrow W. and Elizabeth R. Cowher.
Mary was a graduate of Mohawk High School and Butler Hospital School of Nursing. She began her career as a registered nurse at Butler Hospital, then worked 21 years at the Butler VA Medical Center in the Pulmonary Department and in the Outpatient Clinic. Following that she worked for 21 years at the Visiting Nurses Association of Western PA as an intake coordinator.
Mary was known for her quick wit and sense of humor which were definitely inherited from the Cowher family. Whether it was in retelling an experience, adding subtle touches to her appearance, or sending an “official” looking letter in the mail to relatives, Mary always kept us laughing. She had a kind and generous spirit, thoughtfully sending cards to family and friends for every occasion.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Paul Webber. She is survived by three sisters, Margaret (Richard) Kallenborn of Port Allegany, PA, Betty (Roger) Williamson of Estero, FL and Patricia (Andrew) Wade of Shelbyville, IN; and her stepchildren Paul (Carrie) Webber of Warren, OH and Patricia (Darrel) Parson of Portersville and her dear friend and companion Martin Sniezek of Greensburg, as well as five step-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mary will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Due to corona virus, a private service will be held for family. A memorial service honoring her life will be held at a later date.
