Biography: Sister Victorine (Teresa) Weber was born in Liebenthal, Kansas, on October 9, 1897.
Two years before she completed her elementary education, the Adorers began teaching in Liebenthal and by her last year she knew that God was calling her to become an Adorer. In 1912 she went to Ruma, Illinois, to complete her novitiate training. She taught for 46 years in Kansas and Oklahoma, thirty-six of those years teaching secondary education; this included several years at St. John's and Sacred Heart Academy.
When she reached the age of 73, she retired from teaching and continued to help at the provincial house in various ways including teaching English to young women from Korea and the Southwest Region. Sister Victorine was a courageous woman who displayed great confidence in her loving Father. This was very obvious as she faced major surgery for a brain tumor in 1945 without any fear.
In 1972, she suffered from a rare viral infection of the lower spine which caused paralysis from the waist down, but she continued to express confidence in the Lord's care. She was able to recover from this near-fatal illness, but she had to face other sufferings such as arthritis, a peptic ulcer, and wide-spread cancer that was diagnosed in 1982.
After general deterioration of her health, she passed away on May 6, 1984. She was 86 years old and had been a member of the Adorers for 67 years.
