Leanor R Weinberg

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Leanor Rose Weinberg, devoted wife; loving mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin; and cherished friend. She passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on March 13, 2024.

Leanor was born on April 1, 1929, in the small coal mining town of Weston, Pennsylvania, to the late Andrew (Autero) Raos and Tresa Bruger Molignoni Raos. As a young woman she played the accordion in a local band and sang/yodeled. She later moved to New York City to pursue modeling and yodeled on the radio. People would stop her on the street to ask for her autograph. She met her beloved husband of 53 years and former U.S. Navy Commander Milton Weinberg at a dance where rumor has it that she asked him to dance.

Above all, Leanor enjoyed spending time with her family. Whether it was at home, at the beach, or on the many vacations they enjoyed together, Leanor always put family first and made sure they were home together to celebrate the holidays.

Leanor was preceded in death by her husband Milton and her son Harold. She is lovingly remembered by her family, including her son Andy and his wife Susie, and her son Brian and his wife Jennifer and Janet, mother of Quinn and Benton. She was "Mimi” and “Grammy" to her grandchildren Quinn (Stephen), Benton, Ryan, Wesley, Lukas, Brookelynn, Brett, and Ashlynn.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Hines-Rinaldi Funeral Home (11800 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20904).

A funeral service will be held on Thursday, April 4, 2024, at 11:00 am at St. Peter’s Parish (2900 Olney-Sandy Spring Road, Olney, MD 20832).
