Betty Ann Weihs

Betty was born to Patrick and Beatrice O’Brien, Irish immigrants, and grew up in Rye, New York with her parents and siblings – James (Jim), Theresa (Terry) and Virginia (Ginny). She attended Fordham University and was a graduate of the Catherine Gibbs School. She went on to live a life defined by selflessness, devotion, and a deep commitment to her family.

She was a devoted wife to her husband, William “Bill” Weihs, with whom she shared nearly 70 years of marriage. Together, they built a life centered on love, family, and caring for others.

Betty raised her five children in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, where she created a home filled with warmth, care, and unwavering support. She was known for hosting many holiday dinners at “2 Raymond”, bringing together family and friends, building lasting traditions and cherished memories. She also found great joy in the years spent with her family at Rocky Point and Tod’s Point, where she rarely missed her morning walks with her dear friends.

After raising her children, Betty continued her life of service, through many small acts of kindness and multiple formal roles. She spent over 17 years working as a human resources manager at a local manufacturing company where she was admired for her professionalism, integrity and genuine care for others. Prior to that time, Betty was a special education aide at Dundee School in Greenwich working with young children - a true love of hers. She also was very fulfilled serving as a Eucharistic minister at their parish, St. Catherine’s Church, where she shared friendship and community.

She was the loving mother of five children: Bill (Maureen) of Sarasota, Florida; Tim (Leigh) of Baltimore, Maryland; Chris (Dawn) of Darien, Connecticut; Jackie (Michael) of Fairfield, Connecticut; and Stacie (Michael) of West Palm Beach, Florida— who along with her twelve grandchildren - were the pride and joy of her life.

Betty will be remembered for the generosity, kindness, and love she extended to her family and friends every day. She was always ready to help in times of need and especially cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren: Tyler, Christopher, Evy, Caroline, Megan, Peter, Katherine, Charlie, Michael, Grant, Cole, Maddie; and great-grandchildren, Patrick, Jack and Riley—all of whom adored her. Fondly known as “Bebe” in her later years, she embraced her role as a grandmother with joy, warmth, and boundless love. Her presence and energy brought comfort and stability to those around her, and her legacy will live on through her family.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Bill Weihs; her five children and their spouses; her twelve grandchildren; three great-grandchildren and her sisters, Terry Heller and Ginny Stoeffel. She was predeceased by her brother, Jim O’Brien.
