George E. Weeks

DeWitt MI

Loving and attentive husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, George Eugene Weeks, at age 85, passed to be with his Lord on Father’s Day, June 17th, 2012. Born May 22, 1927 in Charlotte, MI, George was the son of the late Elmer & Mildred (Granger) Weeks. He resided and worked in the Lansing area all of his life; and, after 39 years of service, retired from a Departmental Supervisory position at the City of Lansing. He was cared for and surrounded by his wife, Alice Lydia Dunckel Weeks, and his family throughout his illness as throughout his life. He was bid farewell by all including his siblings, doctor, pastor, and friends.

George loved his family and considered time spent with them his foremost hobby. Other hobbies included carpentry: a gift of his time, talent, and instruction from which all his family benefited. He also enjoyed gardening, especially flower gardening, as well as the tranquility of time spent tooling about on his lawnmower or tractor, grooming the yard & plants, and enjoying nature. He enjoyed decades of retirement winters in Zephyrhills, Florida partaking in wood carving, golfing, weekly dances, dessert socials, and as president of his Church group as well as posts on the resort Board and many committees.

George was preceded in death by his grandson, Chad; siblings Robert & Eleanor; and his parents. Surviving to cherish his gifts and memory are his beloved wife of 68 years, Alice; daughters Nancy A. (Richard) Page of Mesa, AZ, & Linda D. (Michael) Dickson of Laingsburg, MI; sons Michael E. (Kathy) Weeks of LaCrosse, WI, & Donald C. (Amy) Weeks of DeWitt, MI; 12 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; 2 brothers; and 3 sisters.
