Mrs. Weaver was born in Charleston, West Virginia on August 8, 1929, to the late John Garrett Callihan and Jessie (Howell). Ann graduated from West Virginia University in 1951 with a master’s degree in education. She was united in marriage to Clyde M. Weaver on May 30, 1952. The couple settled in Newport News, where they raised a family and lived for 60 years.
Ann pursued a teaching career that began in West Virginia and ended in Newport News, where she retired from teaching 6th grade at Orcutt Baptist Church in 1988. She served as a volunteer for Meals-on-Wheels and a reading tutor for many years after retirement. Ann was a true patriot who loved her county. She enjoyed the beach, her friends, reading, birthday celebrations, competitive card games, Christmas, smiles, and laughs. Most of all, she loved her children.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Clyde M. Weaver, and her brother John Garrett Callihan, Jr.
Mrs. Weaver eventually relocated to the Richmond area to be near family, where she lived for the last 4 years. Ann was a devoted wife and a loving mother, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be sorely missed by all.
Left to cherish her memory are her three children, Rebecca Ann Weaver of Littleton CO; Nancy Ann Leach and her husband Jeff; and Morty Weaver and his wife Melanie, all of the Richmond area.
The family will receive friends from 11:00 – 1:00 on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at the Woody Funeral Home - Parham, 1771 N. Parham Road, Richmond, Va. A memorial service will follow in the chapel at the same location beginning at 1:00.
