Resident Highlight: Sidne Weis Sidne was born in Des Moines, Iowa, where she lived with her sister and parents. At a young age she moved to Cincinnati where she attended school and grew up. The move was due to her father’s job in merchandise at the Montgomery Ward. Her mother was a school teacher.

Sidne attended Mount Healthy High school in Cincinnati. This is where she also met her husband, Ray, at a party on Memorial Day. She later went to college at the University of Cincinnati and then transferred to Cardinal Stritch, where she graduated with a degree in business management Ray and Sidne moved to Hales Corners, where they raised their two children, Gretchen and David.

Gretchen is a minister in Massachusetts and David is a retired dentist.

Ray and Sidne did everything together including owning a temp service business which they later sold. They were also lake Michigan sailors and got out as much as they could.

Sidne worked as Human Resources Director for St. Johns On The Lake before she retired. She also started

the Hales Corners library. She explained that they used to have a drop off service but it became expensive.

She talked to the Hales Corners Woman's Club and did a survey of the community. After concluding that the majority of residents would benefit from a library she went to the village officials with a proposal and was able to get the library established.

Sidne moved here in January. She was familiar with Tudor Oaks just from living near by and having friends here. She actually got to experience the facility when she was here for rehab after one of her hip surgeries. She enjoys being with family, including her great-granddaughter Riley. She also enjoys playing bridge, doing crossword puzzles, and reading. She is a member of the book club here and also likes to watch the Brewers and Packers.
