Anneliese Weston

July 10, 1955 ~ September 28, 2024

Born in: Santa Barbara, California
Resided in: Golden, Colorado

Anneliese Weston passed away peacefully at home with family on September 28, 2024, after battling cancer for two and a half years. Anneliese was born July 10, 1955, in Santa Barbara, California. She was raised as an “academic brat” with her family moving to Princeton, New Jersey and Rochester, New York, while her father completed his graduate and post-graduate education. The family finally settled in Northridge, California, where she graduated from James Monroe High School.

Anneliese met her husband, Mark Perbix, while attending the University of California at Santa Barbara where both volunteered on a community crisis “hot line.” Following college, they briefly lived in Nashville, Tennessee before moving to Denver in 1979. They made the Denver area their home where they raised their son Clay and her niece Jessica.

Anneliese finished her undergraduate degree in Psychology at Metropolitan State College and took graduate courses in Industrial/Organizational Psychology at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. She spent most of her professional life working with payroll software systems and finished her career as an independent consultant. She was extremely competent at her work and well-liked by clients and peers. Anneliese jokingly reminded her husband that she never had to look for a job – they always came to her.

Anneliese’s passions were good food, good company and good wine. She and Mark enjoyed hosting numerous wine tastings with friends.  Her creative outlet was using her fashion sense and intuition to assist others in matching their wardrobe and accessories to their unique personalities and tastes. She combined this with her love of “thrifting” and showing others how to find hidden gems and bargains. She and Mark were avid “do-it-yourselfers” completing many projects at the four homes they owned throughout their marriage. In her later years, Anneliese loved to travel with Mark and particularly enjoyed river cruises in Europe. Her favorite city was Paris (or maybe Prague).

Anneliese was known for always having a joke to share with friends – particularly Unitarian jokes. While comfortable and affable in social settings, she was really a private person who enjoyed her “alone time.” She was reluctant to share her health challenges beyond a close circle of friends and family. When given her first terminal diagnosis last winter, she hoped she could live through one more summer in her new mountain home – and she did. As the disease progressed and her physical abilities declined, she and Mark were still able to enjoy many memorable activities like viewing the solar eclipse in March while “glamping” in Arkansas, spending four days touring the Black Hills in May, attending a Rolling Stones concert in June, and celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary (and 50th anniversary as a couple) in Mendocino in August. During that trip, she was also able to visit her father one last time.

Anneliese was taken from us too soon; she will be remembered as a caring person willing to listen to and help others. She is survived by her father, Charles “Dick” Weston, her husband Mark Perbix and son Clay Perbix, her sister Valerie Weston, her nieces Jessica Weston and Christina Slepicka, and nephew Adam Weston. She was predeceased by her mother, Cathryne Ann Miller-Rillo, brother Aaron Weston and sister Michele Weston.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 23 at 11:00 a.m. at the Jefferson Unitarian Church, 14350 West 32nd Avenue, Golden, CO 80401.
