Life

Weber, who came from a farming family in Burgenland, moved to Vienna after school and worked as a postal worker during the Second World War . She attended the newly founded three-year seminar for church women's professions in Vienna. Because of a physical ailment, a doctor recommended that she live in a place over 1000 meters and therefore became a parish sister in Pfunds .

In 1951 she became the mother of the children's village in the first SOS Children's Village, which was built in Imst . In 1957 she moved to the newly founded Kinderdorf Hinterbrühl . Weber retired in 1977 and had raised 20 children. She spent her twilight years in what is known as the mother house for retired SOS Children's Village mothers in Hinterbrühl.
