Christl Neuberg Weide, 87, of Wilmington passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 18, 2014.

She was born October 14, 1926, in Germany to the late Hans Emil and Helene Pfeifle Neuberg. She married Alexander Karl Weide and immigrated to the United States as a family with their son. In addition to her parents and husband, Christl was preceded in death by her son, Hans-Wolfgang Weide.

Christl is survived by her daughter-in-law Barbara Weide, granddaughters Heather Weide Brown (Christopher) of Atlanta and Amber Weide Kollar (Christopher) of Cedar Point, great grandchildren, Haydn and Avery Brown and Peyton and Bryson Kollar.
