Weaver, Arlene (Hebebrand)

Arlene Weaver, 95, of Bolton, formerly a 60-year resident of Windsor and beloved wife of the late Russell Weaver, passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, October 26, 2021.

Arlene was born in Hartford on April 11, 1926, daughter of Duncan and Mary (Schrader) Hebebrand. After graduation she was employed as a secretary at Veeder-Root before marrying Russell in 1947 and embarking on the journey with which she was most happy .... being a wife and mother of six. After her children graduated, she worked as a school bus driver, then as the Parts Salesperson at TJ Harley Davidson in Ellington, both jobs she thoroughly enjoyed. After Russ died, she moved to Lyman, NH for 30 years before moving to Bolton, CT to live with her daughter five years ago. While in New Hampshire, she was employed at The Brick Store in Bath, which was the oldest working general store in the country, retiring after 25 years from a job she absolutely adored.

Arlene was a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and dear friend. She will be remembered by friends and family as a generous and giving woman with a positive, cheerful personality, a lover of company and entertaining. Family and friends were her highest priority, and she liked nothing better than a good-sized gathering around her large campfire area next to her brook in Lyman, possibly followed by games of setback into the wee hours. She was generous to a fault and would give you her last dollar if she thought you needed it.

Arlene was very much an outdoors country woman. She loved to be in the woods hunting, fishing, or tending her garden (“playing in the dirt” as she called it). She had a horse - Scout - when she was young and loved to ride him bareback through the woodsy trails in Windsor, possibly the precursor to the snowmobiling she did as often as possible through the NH fields and wilderness. Besides her enjoyment of nature, Arlene loved to cook and entertain and was an enthusiastic hostess. She always made sure everyone had enough to eat and drink and was a true believer in "the more the merrier."

Arlene is survived by her children, Patrick Weaver and his wife Juel of Suffield, Cynthia Lincoln of Bolton, Cathy Disalvo and her husband Nick of Old Saybrook, and Rusty Weaver and his wife Lea of Deming, NM; her grandchildren, Jennifer Bolduc and her husband Daniel, Wendy Weaver and her husband Ty Mandirola, Russell Weaver and partner Jennifer Pogg, Alison Lincoln and her partner Greg Noble, Shannon Babyak, Erika Laing and her husband Jay, Laura Schleef and her husband Jon, Joey Disalvo, and Nick Disalvo; her great-grandchildren, Michaela and Mackenzie Weaver, Aiden, Ella, and Anna Bolduc, Olivia Lincoln, Noah and Andrew Babyak, Jayden, Ryan and Alexa Laing and Brady Schleef. In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her sons Michael and Philip Weaver; her infant daughters Laura and Wendy Weaver; and her grandson, Philip Lincoln.

Her family will receive friends on Saturday, November 13, 2021, 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m., with a Prayer Service at 12 p.m., at Carmon Funeral Home, 807 Bloomfield Ave., Windsor.

Burial will be private in St. Joseph Cemetery, Poquonock. To leave a condolence for her family, please visit www.
