Marjorie Weber, of Alexandria, died peacefully at her home on Aug. 15 after a long illness. She was 78. She is survived by her son, Aaron Weber (Liane); grandsons, Jonah and Nathan Weber; and sister, Susan Burstein (Herbert).
She was born to Israel and Pat in 1943 in Hartford, Conn. She went to college in Boston and lived in Cambridge afterwards. Her marriage to Charney Weber lasted for eight years until his death in 2019.
In 1980, the Webers moved to Fairfax. The whole family were active and enthusiastic members of Agudas Achim Congregation. While Aaron was growing up, Marjorie was able to find what is now called work-life balance by doing freelance copy editing of fiction and non-fiction, so that she could be present for her family while also engaging in a career that she loved. Later in life she enjoyed the variety of working on the newsletters and magazines of some of the many associations based in Alexandria.
