Victor Widmer, of Morgantown, died Friday, Dec. 17, 2021, at Stonerise Morgantown, with his daughters at his side, after a most courageous battle with prostate cancer. He is survived by three daughters, Milissa Widmer, Marcelle Widmer and Michelle Widmer-Eby; son-in-law, Steven Eby; grandson, Michael Eby, all of Morgantown; and grandson, Daniel Eby, of Houston. He is also survived by one brother, Joseph Widmer, of Cranberry Township, Pa., as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Beulah Coombs Widmer; his parents, Karl and Catherine (Malsavage) Widmer; four brothers, Charles, Bernard, Robert and Albert Widmer; and a sister, Joann (Widmer) Palazzo.
Victor had the quick wit and mind of a mechanical engineer, the compassion of a priest, the bluest of eyes and the patience of Job. He enjoyed a good rum and Coke or a long island iced tea for whenever the occasion called.
He was a member of St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church in Morgantown and the Pine Lakes’ Property Owners Association of N. Ft. Myers, Fla.
Victor was born August 1934, in Connellsville, Pa. Victor was a graduate of the Immaculate Conception High School Class of 1952, Connellsville, Pa. He served eight proud years in the U.S. Airforce, was one of the original founders of PACE Association (People Aware of Children Exceptional) in Morgantown. He retired from the U.S. Postal Service in 1989 and operated businesses and real estate in Westover until his passing.
The Widmer family would like to thank the loving care of Msgr. Cincinnati, DeeAsah Lee, Anna Slayden, Amedysis Hospice Care of Morgantown and the staff at the Stonerise Morgantown for most recent love and grace. They would also like to thank Dr. John Battin, Dr. Gary Marano, Dr. Thomas Hogan and Dr. William Mitchell for years of care and compassion, and all his neighbors and friends on Callen Avenue in First Ward, who looked out for him over the last five years.
