Anna Mary Weimer

MADISON - Anna Mary "Ancy" Weimer, 101 years young, died peacefully on Thursday, February 26 at Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg. She was born to Jacob and Anna Yoder Wagenhurst on November 9, 1913 in Washington, New Jersey. Much beloved by family and friends for her impish sense of humor, sweet loving nature and contagious laugh, she led a full and wonderful life. Growing up in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, she met the love of her life, John Blakely Weimer, when both were eight years old. They married in 1947 and lived in Pennsylvania and Milford, Connecticut where he was a practicing dental surgeon. Graduating from Geisinger Medical Center, she worked as a Registered Nurse before raising two children and doing volunteer nursing for the Red Cross. In retirement, the couple moved to Florida and enjoyed many happy years there. In later life, she loved traveling the world, parties, cryptograms, Danielle Steele books-on-tape, a good joke and a nightly nip of Canadian Club. She is survived by her beloved daughter and daughter-in-law, Linda Weimer and Jean Lang of Middleton, and by her beloved niece and nephew Patricia and Gary Jay of Tampa, Florida. She is also survived by other nieces, nephews and special friends of all ages throughout the country to whom she gave great love and pleasure. She was preceded in death by her sons Richard and Andrew, her husband John, her parents and her sisters Janet and Lois. Her love of life, faith, and optimistic, generous nature gave her remarkable health and longevity. The family would like to thank her large "extended family" in the Madison area, the staff and good friends at the Jefferson in Middleton, the Health Corps aides who looked after her so lovingly, her special friends Evie Elton and Joanne Salmon and the incomparably wonderful caregivers at Agrace. A celebration of her life will be held later this spring. In lieu of memorial contributions, friends and family are invited to give in her name to organizations of their choice Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.
