Janet Eileen Weeks

Born in Lufkin, Texas, on May 31, 1949, Janet was the cherished only child of the late Ernie M. Willhite and Katie Evelyn Willhite.

Raised in a warm and loving home in Lufkin, she carried the deep roots and classic strength of her East Texas upbringing throughout her life. She was a proud graduate of Lufkin High School, Class of 1967. Shortly after graduation, Janet married the love of her life, Elmer Lewis Weeks, on June 2, 1967. Together, they built a life centered on devotion, resilience, and family, sharing over 47 years of marriage until Elmer’s passing in 2014.

Janet was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose life was defined by her steadfast endurance, gentle warmth, and unwavering love for those closest to her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Elmer Lewis Weeks; her infant daughter, Donna Kay Weeks; and her son, David Monroe Weeks. Though she bore immense heartbreak during her life, Janet faced every trial with grace and unwavering devotion to her family.

Janet’s memory and legacy live on through her surviving family: Cassady Caitlyn Weeks, Olan Wayne Lindsey, and Flint Cassady Lindsey, along with extended family and dear friends who will miss her presence deeply.

A private memory service will be held to honor her life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that fond memories and expressions of sympathy be shared in her memory.
