Barbara J. (Bobbi) Weaver, 61, of Lancaster, passed away Tuesday afternoon at home, in the company of her beloved family. She succumbed after a lengthy illness and died as she lived, with dignity and without complaint.

Bobbi was born in Trenton, N.J., in 1947, the daughter of Clifford H. and Elizabeth G. Spooner. She is survived by her husband of 36 ½ years, G. Robert Weaver, Lancaster, Pa..; her mother, Lancaster, Pa; a sister, Robin Cramer, wife of William, Burlington, NJ; two sons, Brad  and Josh ,husband of Andrea, all of Lancaster. She is also survived by her nephew, Eric Cramer of Aberdeen, MD.

A graduate of Northern Burlington Regional High School, Columbus, NJ, in 1965, she was a member of the National Honor Society. Bobbi received her BA in French from Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa in 1969, having spent her junior year abroad studying in Paris, France. In 1984, she received an Associates' Degree from Bucks County Community College, Newtown, Pa, in computer science.

She began her professional career as an elementary school teacher during the 1969-70 school year in the Pemberton Twp (NJ) School District. Her career path included employment as a reading specialist in the Pennsbury (Pa) School District and as a computer programmer for Cenlar Capital Corporation, Ewing, NJ, and Old Guard Insurance Co. in Lancaster. At the time of her death, she was on disability from Case New Holland, Racine, Wisconsin, where she worked in Dealer Sales Support.

Bobbi enjoyed the simpler things of life such as gardening, reading, dining out with her husband and friends, entertaining friends and family, lengthy phone chats with her sister, and traveling in the continental U.S. Sitting on her deck during a warm, sunshiny day with a glass of wine and a good book was a great day for her.

A memorial service will be held for Bobbi at 11:00 AM on Saturday, August 16, 2008 at the Lancaster Friends Meeting House, located at 110 Tulane Terrace, Lancaster, PA.
