Jennifer Ginnie Johnson Weber, 59, passed away June 7, 2012, at her home in Rathdrum. Jennifer was born June 26, 1952, in Helena, Mont., where she

attended Helena High School. She later graduated from the University of Montana. What she enjoyed most was helping people with head injuries through a program she worked with in Riverton, Wyo. Jennifer was always the person that put the needs of others before her own.

She was a very talented woman. She loved to teach others her skills. Her interests included sewing, interior design, cooking and baking, especially cookies with her grandchildren. She also enjoyed finding old treasures and making them new again. Two of her most favorite things to do were cleaning her home and shopping for something on sale. She was always a very highly productive person.

She was a life long partner, sidekick, wife, mother, and grandma. She will be missed by many, and is loved by all that knew her. After raising kids, working and helping others, she ran into James. They grew close quickly, got married and they became each others’ reward in life.

Jennifer is survived by her husband, James Weber, mother, Evelyn Chapek, stepfather Bill Chapek, daughters, Kristen O’Connor and Dawn Rodgers, brother, David Hoge, sister, Kathy Pince, four grandchildren, Kyler O’Connor, Drey Rodgers, Joran Rodgers and Rylan Rodgers, and her faithful dog Maxwell. She is preceded in death by her father Olen K. Johnson. In addition to Jennifer’s biological children and grandkids, she was also referred to as mom and grandma through her relationship with Taeha, Chante, and Colby Collins of Riverton, Wyo.

Jennifer has a deep love and association with Native American culture. Some came from her heritage, however most of that association and love came from a very close relationship with Vincent and Louise Blake of Riverton, Wyo. The Blakes provided Jennifer spiritual knowledge of the Indian ways and peace in her heart.
