Alton Enoch Wiebe (Tony) was born February 26, 1930 to Arno and Edna Wiebe in Corn, OK, the 2nd of 4 children. He grew up in Oklahoma City and Vacaville, CA, where he attended high school. Tony then moved to Portland, OR, to attend Multnomah School of the Bible (now Multnomah University), and met Celia Shaw. Tony and Celia were married on September 10, 1950 at Central Bible Church.
Graduating from Multnomah, then Tony attended and graduated from Vanport College (now Portland State), then attended the University of Oregon Medical School. While completing his schooling, he and Celia started a family, with Stephen, Thomas, Barbara and Ruth joining them before he graduated from medical school in 1957. Tony and family then spent 4 years in the Army, primarily in Germany, where Captain Wiebe served as a flight surgeon. Their 5th child, Craig, joined the family there.
After military service, Tony returned to Portland in 1962, where he lived the remainder of his life. Tony joined the Greeley Clinic as a family physician, and practiced medicine there until his retirement in 2000. Peter, Tony & Celia's last child, joined them in 1965.
Tony was an irrepressible force of nature. Despite the long days as a physician, he participated fully in family life. Tony helped anyone in the family with medical issues, night or day. He was involved in his community, serving on the board of Multnomah University and Central Bible Church for many years, and serving a stint as the leader of the medical staff at Emanuel Hospital. Tony loved sports, particularly golf, tennis and basketball, and was active until late in his life. He was a very knowledgable carpenter, and passed on that knowledge to his boys. Tony was delighted by his grandchildren, organizing impromptu walks with them which often led to the candy store.
Tony died in his sleep on December 26, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Celia, and his children Thomas Wiebe, Barbara McDougall, Ruth Moreau, Craig Wiebe and Peter Wiebe. He will be interred at Willamette National Cemetery.
A memorial service for Tony will be held at Rolling Hills Community Church in Tualatin, OR on January 31, 2024 at 2:00pm. All are welcome.
