¶¶ÒõÂþ»­ mourns the passing of Arlene M. “Arlie” Weber of Bradenton, Florida, who died peacefully on June 2, 2026. She was 97 years old.

Arlie was the beloved wife of Harm Weber Jr., who served as President of ¶¶ÒõÂþ»­ College, now ¶¶ÒõÂþ»­, from 1969 to 1992. For 22 years, she faithfully served alongside him as First Lady, making the Elgin campus feel like home to students, faculty, and staff alike. Those who knew Arlie remember her as a woman of exceptional grace, warmth, and generosity. The Weber home was always open, filled with good food, laughter, and the kind of hospitality that made people feel genuinely seen and welcomed. In recognition of her extraordinary contributions to the ¶¶ÒõÂþ»­ community, Arlie was presented with the prestigious Golden Eagle Award in 1991.

Born January 8, 1929, in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota, Arlie carried her faith and her care for people into every room she entered. She was known for her handwritten cards and notes. This was a quiet, faithful practice that ensured no one felt forgotten. Before their years at ¶¶ÒõÂþ»­, she and Harm served churches together in Isle, MN; Indianapolis, IN; Muncie, IN; and Detroit, MI, across 62 years of marriage and shared ministry.

A devoted follower of Jesus Christ, Arlie is survived by her three children, Jan, Harm, and Matthew, and by a wide community of people whose lives she shaped with quiet faithfulness.

¶¶ÒõÂþ»­ extends its deepest condolences to the Weber family. Condolences may be shared through the family’s tribute page at
