Obituary

Edith Dorothea Weiss (Edie) was called to heaven on Sunday, January 28, 2018, only a few months short of her 91st birthday, at her residence in Carrollton, TX where she passed peacefully to sleep due to complications from cancer. She was born April 16, 1927 to Dorothea (Sampe) and Hugo Jeske in Milwaukee, WI, both deceased, and is survived by her sister Annette Moore of Milwaukee, WI and brother Richard Jeske, Fort Myers, FL.  She was preceded to heaven by her beloved husband of 39 years, Robert Charles Weiss from West, Bend, WI. Her legacy of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren includes: Jeffrey Weiss, his wife and four children; Greta (Weiss) Abtahi and husband Ali (Plano, TX) and their children: Christopher, Cameron and Houdini Abtahi, and his wife Jesslyn and two children Maddie and Emma; Robin Weiss and his wife Ginny (Westbury, NY) and his daughter Katie; and Roger (Chip) Weiss and his wife Carolyn (Cheshire, England) and their children: Emily Glancy and Sam Glancy. She touched the lives of so many. In her youth, she was a camp counselor, loved the outdoors and was active in gymnastics with the Milwaukee Turners. A graduate of University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, she pursued a teaching career in physical education. Before moving to Texas, she spent most of her married life in Muncie, IN where she worked as school secretary at Burris High School and various other administrative positions at Ball State University, until she retired in 1982. She spent 30 years alongside her husband supporting his avocation in Barbershop harmony, and she sang for a brief period with the Sweet Adeline’s Chapter in Dallas. Edith was an active volunteer serving the Lord at Messiah Lutheran Church in Plano and was a faithful contributor to the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the National Wildlife Foundation. She loved crafts of all kinds; from ceramics to needlework, and would never turn down a good game of Bingo. A service will be held at Messiah Lutheran Church, 1801 W Plano Parkway, Plano, TX on Friday, February 16, 2018 at 11:30 a.m. Interment will be at the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery at 3:15 P.M. later that day. In lieu of flowers, we appreciate your kind donation to the American Cancer Society or Messiah Lutheran Church. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

    Edie was a ray of light… we loved seeing her when she was visiting in NY… she gave great advice, loved her children and grandchildren deeply and loved talking all about them. I will miss her stories and her laugh and smile. God bless you Edie… hope you are reunited with your husband and singing a song or two!

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
