Warsing

Janet L. (Weaver) Warsing, 98, formerly of Altoona, Philipsburg and Hollidaysburg, died Tuesday, July 28, 2020, at Elmcroft of Altoona, Duncansville.

She was born in Altoona, daughter of the late George E. and Laura M. (Culp) Weaver. On Dec. 15, 1945, she married Luther L. Warsing in Altoona. He preceded her in death on June 11, 1995.

Surviving are a son, John L. (Lynn) Warsing of Madera; a son-in-law, Terry R. Illig of Ebensburg; six grandchildren: John (Renee) Warsing, Karla (Nathan) Myers, James Warsing, Chad (Jennifer) Illig, Laura (Mark) Wilt and Erika (Andrew) Seabright; six great-grandchildren; and numerous other extended family members.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a daughter, Rebecca A. Illig; and two brothers: the Rev. Dr. J. Benner Weaver and Donald Culp Weaver.

She was a 1940 graduate of Altoona High School. Janet and Luther moved from Altoona to Philipsburg in 1950. She was employed as a secretary with the Philipsburg-Osceola Area School District until her retirement in 1988. She was a member of First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Philipsburg and taught Sunday school at her church for 25 years. In 1999, she moved to Hollidaysburg, where she joined Zion Lutheran Church. She was also a 75-year member of the Moshannon Valley Daughters of the American Revolution.

Janet, known as Nana by those who loved her, loved to play the piano and turn anything into a song. She enjoyed attending lunches with her red hat group. Her top priority was her family and she loved visits from her great-grandchildren. She brightened this world with her beautiful smile and contagious laugh and will live in the memories of everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her.

A graveside memorial service will be held for immediate family with the Rev. Ralph Hamer officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations to be made in Janet’s memory to First Evangelical Lutheran Church, P.O. Box 377, Philipsburg, PA 16866.

Arrangements are by Beezer-Heath Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Philipsburg.
