Daniel J. Weiss
Daniel J. Weiss, a lifelong resident of Shorewood, Brown Deer, and Mequon, died on June 13, 2026.
Born in 1934 to Bertha and Joseph Weiss, Dan had a wonderful upbringing in Shorewood, where he loved swimming at Atwater Beach and playing football and golf at Shorewood High. Dan attended University of Michigan for just a semester, where family lore indicates he had “a little too much fun,” prompting his parents to require that he return to Wisconsin to finish college. He graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he likely had even more fun.
During six months in the army, Dan somehow found the time to improve his golf game. Family lore (again) says he took two strokes off his handicap while serving his country. Following the military, Dan attended Marquette University Law School and over the next several decades became a prominent family law attorney in the Milwaukee area.
Dan loved playing golf with his many friends at Brynwood (1960 Club Champion) and North Shore country clubs. Perhaps even more, he loved a good game of gin. But most of all, Dan adored his children, grandchildren and wife of 40 years, Rita Jackson Weiss.
He is survived by Rita and preceded in death by his first wife, Carol Peterson Weiss. His children, Michael (Sarah), David (Beth) and Stephanie (Rod), will miss him dearly, as will grandchildren Gabrielle, Henry, Isabel, Greta, Leah, Charlie and Will. Dan is also survived by Rita’s children, Julia and Tiffany (Hermann), and grandsons, Nicolas, Miles and Seneca.
Dan’s family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the team of caregivers who took excellent care of him over the last several years: Peony Vardi, Rose Ricks, Raquel Fuhrmann, Kristine Tiodin, Jenny Tiodin and Manny Mendoza.
Burial will bewas at Spring Hill Cemetery, Milwaukee, on Sunday, July 12. Goodman-Bensman Whitefish Bay assisted the family.

Sue Ann Weller
Sue Ann Weller
It is with deep sadness and love that we announce the passing of Sue Ann Weller, nee Bernstein, who passed away on July 12, 2026, at the age of 79. She was surrounded by her loving family.
Born on April 6, 1947, Sue Ann lived a life defined by love, kindness, and unwavering devotion to her family. She was the beloved wife of Richard Weller, a devoted mother, and a cherished grandmother whose love, encouragement, and gentle spirit enriched the lives of those around her. Family was the center of her world, and nothing brought her greater happiness than spending time with those she loved.
After graduating from Whitefish Bay High School in 1965, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She later had a career in real estate where Sue Ann earned the respect of clients and colleagues through her integrity, warmth, and genuine care for others. She found great satisfaction in helping families find a residence.
She loved to cruise and looked forward to opportunities to explore new destinations. Earlier in their marriage, she especially enjoyed spending time with her husband entertaining at their cottage creating treasured memories together. She also loved gathering with family and friends for lunches, playing Mah Jongg, and going out to dinner and weekend movies. Over the years, she shared her home and heart with a succession of beloved dogs, each one a cherished companion who brought her endless joy and unconditional love.
Her greatest pride was her family, especially her three grandchildren. She celebrated each of their accomplishments with genuine joy and was immensely proud that two had graduated from college, while her youngest grandchild will begin sophomore year this fall. She was delighted into watching them grow into thoughtful, accomplished young adults and never missed an opportunity to share their achievements.
She cherished the many lifelong friends she made over the years and treasured the time they spent together. She also shared an especially close and loving bond with her sister, whose companionship, laughter, and support were a constant source of joy throughout their lives.
She is survived by her loving husband of almost 60 years, Richard Weller; her children, Todd (Heather) Weller and Lisa (Daniel) Attanasio; her three beloved grandchildren, Isabel Ann Weller, John Martin Weller, and Rachel Ann Attanasio; her sister, Janet (Byron) Frenz; and many nephews, great-nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Martin Bernstein and Ruth Bernstein (nee Dinnerstein).
Though she will be deeply missed, the love she shared, the friendships she nurtured, and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Funeral service held July 16 at the Goodman-Bensman Whitefish Bay Funeral Home. Interment followed at Second Home Cemetery, Milwaukee. Rabbi Abby Phelps officiated. Memorial contributions to Congregation Shalom appreciated.
