Nancy Weirbach Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On September 4th, 2015 Nancy Weirbach was welcomed into eternal life by her beloved late husband, Robert B. Weirbach and her two sons, Wesley and Blaine Weirbach. Left behind on earth to share her memory are her three remaining children, Lynn Hudson (Howard), Bob Weirbach (Una) and Nancy Linford (Gary). Nancy also leaves behind seven wonderful grandchildren: Andrew Hudson (Dayna), Edward Hudson (Tara), Melissa Weirbach (Shane Allred), Wes Weirbach, Lisa Linford, Janelle Linford, and Nate Linford; as well as three great grandchildren: Parker and Bennett Hudson and Jake Allred. Nancy was born May 3, 1921 in Stanford Kentucky to Ambrose Wesley and Mary Elizabeth Holtzclaw. She grew up on a farm the youngest of four children: Elizabeth, Robert and Hugh Sam predeceased her. She graduated from West Virginia Institute of Technology in 1943 with degrees in math and library science. She moved west to Arizona to teach. It was there that she met her husband of 67 years, Rev. Robert B. Weirbach. At that time she was teaching middle school math in Tucson, Arizona. Since her teaching contract did not allow her to marry, she waited until the school year finished. After a June 10, 1945 wedding, she and Bob enjoyed a wonderful life, raising 5 children and living in a half dozen different cities in Arizona and California, ultimately retiring in Santa Barbara where Bob had served as Senior Pastor of the United Methodist Church. In early years Nancy was active with the church choir and with United Methodist Women. She was also very active with PEO, a philanthropic women's organization. However, her focus had always been to support her husband and care for her family, which she did with great resolve and for which she will be fondly remembered. A memorial service will take place on Saturday October 24, 2015 at 11am at the First United Methodist Church. Memorial donations may be made in her memory to the First United Methodist Church Santa Barbara.
