On June 27, 2021, Sylvia Gail Weis passed away peacefully at the age of 83. Sylvia was born on December 28, 1937, in Anniston, Alabama to parents Richard and Lucy Barber. Sylvia was very proud to have attended the Ida B. Moffett School of Nursing and graduated in November 1959. During the course of her studies, she formed lifelong friendships and those closest to her called her “Tender”. Shortly after graduating from Nursing School, Sylvia married her husband Kenneth L. Weis on July 29, 1960. Sylvia proudly served as Director of Nursing at multiple facilities during her career and was a passionate patient advocate. The true joy of Sylvia’s life were her 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who lovingly referred to her as “Nana”. Keeping true to her Southern roots, Nana was an amazing chef who all but insisted that you clean a plate (or two) during every visit.
Sylvia is survived by 4 children: Jeff Weis (Karen), Rod Weis, Victoria Pintaro (Frank) and Karen Devall (Glen). She is also survived by 6 grandchildren: Kristin Pintaro, Carter Weis, Trent Weis, Ashton Regard, Jeffery Weis and Jayden Weis. Sylvia was preceded in death by her son, Philip Weis, Husband, Kenneth Weis, Father, Richard Barber and Mother, Lucy Barber.
