Obituary, Florida Times-Union, December 2, 2015
Sara Sue Bass Weaver passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 28 at Baptist Medical Center, Jacksonville, Florida from natural causes. She was 82 years old. Mrs. Weaver was the oldest daughter of Fred Oreland and Miriam Lois Bass. She was born on September 2, 1933 in Carlisle, Lonoke County, Arkansas.
She was a vibrant and active girl growing up in the country of Arkansas. She loved the outdoors and as an adult would toil in her yard daily pulling weeds and planting flowers until she wasn't able to do it any longer.
At 17 she met and married Oc Weaver on December 3, 1950 in Lonoke County, Arkansas. Mr. Weaver was in the Army and shortly after their marriage they moved to Chattahoochee, Georgia where they resided until their oldest daughter was born in 1952. Mr. Weaver was sent to Germany and three months later Sara and their daughter traveled over the Atlantic Ocean by ship to join her husband in Germany. This would be the first of many trips she would make across the Atlantic Ocean and throughout the United States with children in tow by herself.
She came to reside in Jacksonville, Florida after the death of her husband in 1990. She volunteered at the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and University Medical Center for a number of years. She was a member of North Jacksonville Baptist Church. She was a beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great-grandmother. It was not uncommon for her children's friends to come to love her as well and soon call her Mom. She had the same effect on the grandchildren's friends. Many called her Granny.
Sara was preceded in death by her husband, her parents and two sisters, Rita Beardsley and Margaret Cissell. She is survived by her four children, Donna Haskins and her husband Roy of Garland, Texas, Pamela Reese of Jacksonville, Florida, Karen Shelton and her husband Brad of Leander, Texas, Richard Weaver and his wife Diane of Pensacola, Florida, her nine grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren. Sister, Sandra Duclos of Osceola, Arkansas, and half sisters, Henny Collins of Little Rock, Arkansas and Brenda Bricker of Selmer, Tennessee; many nieces and nephews, her devoted caregiver, Lois Cooper and many others who loved her.
Graveside Services will be held at 2:00 PM (CST) on Thursday, December 3, 2015 at Barrancas National Cemetery in Pensacola, Florida, where she will be laid to rest with her husband. The family will receive friends from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at Faith Chapel Funeral Home South, 100 Beverly Parkway, Pensacola, Florida on Thursday prior to the service.
