Beatrice Germaine Weber was born in 1929 to parents Rudy and Louise Fangsrud. She was raised on a farm near Milnor, North Dakota, where she helped with the chores, farming, and raising chickens and turkeys. She was educated at the Milnor Public Schools. She graduated from the Practical Nursing Course at Fergus Falls, Minnesota at Wright Hospital and worked there and at Veblen Hospital, South Dakota as a nurse.

September 12, 1950, she married Peter Weber at Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church at Cayuga, North Dakota. They moved to Danvers, Minnesota, and Peter managed the Farmer’s Co-op Elevator. After Peter died in 1997, Bea spent her time with family, church, and her garden. She received the bishop’s medal in 1997 from Bishop Lucker. She was a long-time communion distributor at the church and nursing homes. Bea enjoyed gardening, sewing rugs and quilts, and country and gospel music. She was also interested in adoption and foster care.
