Patsy N Weir

Patsy loved being a Girl Scout leader and Cub Scout leader for her children. She was also active in the PTA serving as President several times. She loved to Dress a Live Doll.

Pat also loved to camp and bowl. Pat had many great life long friends and she was also a great friend and caretaker.

Patsy Weir left this life covered with prayers and the kisses of those that loved her.

She was a loving and caring wife to Billy J. for Fifty-six years. They enjoyed a life of camping, RVing and looking for treasures in antique and junk shops. Their home was always filled with love, laughter and grace. In weaving their lives together they created a picture of faithful love for all to see. She was the Mother of Jaye Lynn, Steven and Terry and they are all thankful to God for blessing them with her. Patsy believed in the power of a mother’s prayer. She spent countless nights praying for her children. The effects can be seen in the kind of people her children have become. She stood steadfast at their side through the bad and the good and loved them always. She loved Rodney, Ron and Linda as if they were her own children. Patsy’s children do indeed arise and call her blessed. As a Grandmother there was no one better at spoiling grandchildren. Patsy’s grandchildren knew they could count on their Meme to come through for them. Nothing pleased her more than spending time with each of her grandchildren. She loved to take the girls shopping and getting them whatever they wanted. Patsy has a plaque on her wall that reads, “Grandchildren hold your hand for a while and your heart forever”. Her grandchildren believe the same of her. Their Meme held their hand for awhile but will hold their heart forever. Her great grandchildren will always hear wonderful stories of their Meme and how they brought a special light into her eyes even as her light was fading.

She was preceded in death by her Father and Mother, Nelson and Ruby Mahurin and a brother Coy Mahurin.

Patsy is survived by her loving Husband Billy J. Weir, a sister Sue Mahurin Weir and a brother Roy Mahurin, a daughter Jaye Lynn Turnbow, two sons Steven and Terry Weir.
