April 8, 1930 ~ April 23, 2016
Mildred Gertrude Wieberg, 86, of Westphalia, passed away Saturday, April 23, 2016, at SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital. She was surrounded by her family and held the hand of her loving husband of 67 years, departing this life on the day of their wedding anniversary.
She was born April 8, 1930, in Westphalia, the daughter of the late Lawrence and Helen (Scheulen) Temmen.
Mildred was united in marriage on April 23, 1949, in Westphalia to Alfred Wieberg who survives at the home.
In her earlier years, Mildred was a homemaker until the children were grown. She later worked from 1974-1994 as a housekeeper for the Rodeway Inn Hotel, Jefferson City.
She was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Westphalia, St. Ann's Sewing Circle, and the Senior Citizen's Club, Westphalia. Mildred loved to cook and bake. She was well-known in the community for her iced sugar cookies. In years past people would make an early visit to the St. Joseph Parish functions to purchase a plate of her cookies. She also enjoyed quilting and sewing. She made hundreds of pillows for her family and also donated them to St. Joseph Parish functions and to the Senior Citizens Group. All of her pillows were adorned with her signature handmade ruffle. She also made countless aprons for school teachers and of course for her family. She truly loved using her talents to serve others.
For her years of dedication and contribution to the community of Westphalia she was awarded the Anton Johannesmeyer Annual Award in 1996 and was also honored as a distinguished graduate of St. Joseph School, Westphalia.

Guestbook
Going to Missouri was always a treat for our family being we lived in Texas. We were always welcomed by Cotton and Mildred with open arms. The whole family would congregate, cook, visit and who could forget the swimming pool in their front yard. We enjoyed that Wieberg hospitality. I pray that God’s peace and comfort surrounds this family and know that we will be praying for Cotton as I am sure he will be lost for sometime. All our love – Randy and Janelle Sustaire
