Thelma Mae (Kreider) Weaver passed peacefully into Heaven Monday, May 23, 2011.

For 63 years she was the loving wife of John Edward Weaver. Born in Conestoga, she was the daughter of Margaret Foutz and granddaughter of Phares and Mary (Warfel) Foutz.

Mom most enjoyed spending time with family and friends, doing crossword puzzles, and listening to music of the Big Band era.  She had a beautiful smile and a love for all who knew her.

A member of St. Anthony of Padua Church for the past 35 years, she had been active in the Senior Citizen Group and Bereavement Committee.  As a stay-at-home Mom she was able to serve as Cub Scout leader, Girl Scout leader, PTO member, family chauffer and faithfully attended every school and athletic event.

She will be deeply missed by her five children: John E. Weaver Jr., husband of Esther Chang, Glendale, AZ; Brenda Weaver, Lancaster; Patrick Weaver, husband of Nanette (Kulp),  Lancaster; Pamela, wife of James Henderson, Vernon, NY; and Ronald Weaver, husband of Kathe (Sherts), Lititz.

A special joy to her was her grandchildren: Janine, Sharon, Philip, Samantha, Ronnie and Robbie.  She would especially light up when her younger grandchildren Maddie and Melissa, and her great-grandchildren Amanda and Micah came to visit.

The family greatly appreciates the loving care Thelma received during her stay at Lancashire Hall.
