Roseanna M. Weyer, 88, Lewistown, peacefully entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior on Sunday at her residence, surrounded by her daughters.
She was born in Altoona, daughter of the late Paul P. and Rose M. (Long) Gerhard.
A devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Roseanna's greatest joy was found in her family. She is survived by her daughters: Diane W. Stewart and husband, Edward, and Christine L. Burlew and husband, Doug, all of Lewistown, and Linda S. Phillippy and companion, Kevin Lemaire, in North Carolina. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Richard C. Stewart and wife, Amanda, Joseph E. Stewart and wife, Kristen, and Jeffrey L. Phillippy and wife, Caitlin. Her legacy continues through her cherished great-grandchildren: Aspen Rose, Ella Marie, Everly Mae, Sadie Grace, Jackson Charles and Mia Anne Stewart. Her family was truly the light of her life.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard G. "Dick" Weyer Jr., who passed away on Jan. 8, 1979; as well as her siblings: Paul X. Gerhard, Otto H. Gerhard, Alfred R. Gerhard and Margaret B. Gerhard. She was the last of her immediate family.
Earlier in life, alongside her husband, Roseanna owned and operated Schulman's Sporting Goods. She later worked at W.E. Henry Optometrist, where she was a valued employee until her retirement in 1997.
For 68 years, Roseanna was a faithful and active member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church. Her deep faith also guided her service through the St. Vincent De Paul Society, where she gave generously of her time and compassion. Roseanna found joy and sisterhood in the Red Hat Society and her presence was a constant at her grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's sporting events and activities. She will be remembered for her unwavering support, her nurturing spirit and her willingness to help anyone in need.
