BELMONT ---- George Edward Webber, 91, of Bean Hill Road, passed away peacefully at his home with his children by his side after a long battle with cancer on Saturday, May 24, 2025.
George was born on November 28, 1933, in Ayer, MA, the son of Edward J. and Bertha I. Webber where he graduated Groton High School in 1951. After graduation he attended Miss Farmers School of Cookery in Boston and then started a career in cooking.
He later joined the Army in 1953 as a cook and was posted to Fort Devans where he spent his spare time hunting and fishing and living off post with his family. In 1955 he was deployed to Iceland where he completed the remainder of his enlistment.
After leaving the Army he returned home where he met his wife Glenda and they were married in 1955. They soon drove cross country to settle in Oregon where their sons Gary and Gene were born. Soon after they returned to MA and were divorced in 1961.
During this time George met his wife Linda and they were married in 1963 and moved to the Weirs Beach area of Laconia, NH where their daughters Susan and Rebecca were born and raised. In 1987 they moved to Belmont, NH. His wife Linda passed away in 2004. Living in the Lakes Region provided a great opportunity for George to pursue his passions of fishing and hunting.
During his time in Laconia George became a follower of Christ, and joined the South Baptist Church. He developed a keen interest in local politics and served as a Laconia City Counselman from 1976-1978.
He was employed as a meat cutter at Star Market for 28 years and Hannaford for an additional 5 years until his retirement in 2001.
During his retirement he worked to reclaim the hiking trails in the Belknap Mountain Range and spent every opportunity enjoying the log cabin in Maine that he and his son Gary built by hand. He continued to enjoy fishing and hunting along with his love of gardening and hiking.
In 2005 he met Martha Swanson and they were married in 2006. During their time together they spent countless hours outdoors enjoying activities including travel, downhill skiing, kayaking and enjoying the sun and beaches across New England.
