Obituary -- The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Thursday, 11 APR 2013, p.M7 (Newspapers.com):
Annabell Mae HARGER Weaver, 85, of Cedar Rapids, died Tuesday, April 9, 2013, surrounded by most of her family, after a 2-year battle with cancer at the Dennis and Donna Oldorf Hospice House of Mercy in Hiawatha, IA. Memorial services will be 11am Saturday, April 13, 2013 at Murdoch-Linwood Funeral Home, Cedar Rapids, conducted by the Rev. Stasia Fine of New Disciples Christian Church, Cedar Rapids. The family will greet friends from 4pm to 8pm, Friday, April 12, at the funeral home. Inurnment will be in the Linwood Cemetery Mausoleum, Cedar Rapids.
Survivors include her husband of 67 years, Allen Neale Weaver, Sr.; three sons, Allen Neale (Robyn) Weaver, Jr. and Arthur (Susan) Weaver, both of Cedar Rapids, and Andy Weaver of San Diego; two daughters, Annette WEAVER and her boyfriend, Patrick Nolan, of St. Louis, and Amy WEAVER of Cedar Rapids; six grandchildren, Paige HENDERSON Bauer, Kim WEAVER Roudabush and her husband Mike, Alexia WEAVER, Sydney WEAVER, Corey Vanderburgh, and Cara VANDERBURGH; and two great-grandchildren, Jake and Lexi Roudabush.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her paternal grandparents, George Washington Harger II and Sara Ella BARR Harger; her maternal grandmother, Deborah Helen WILT Johnson, widow of Robert Elson Johnson; three brothers, Orland Harger, Harold Harger, and Verle Harger; grandson, Bret Allen Weaver; and a great-grandson, Derek Alan Weaver Box.
Annabell was born May 14, 1927, in her parents' home in Cedar Rapids, daughter of Grover Dale and Nellie Mabel JOHNSON Harger. Her family moved from Cedar Rapids to Urbana, Iowa, in 1929. Later the family moved to a farm south of Urbana, where she spent her adolescent years. The family would eventually move back to Cedar Rapids, where she graduated from Wilson High School in 1944.
Annabell met Neale Weaver after he returned from Europe following the end of World War II. They married Feb. 9, 1946 in Cedar Christian Church, and were happily married for 67 years. Annabell retired from the workforce in 1986 from RFK Transportation where she worked in the office. She was a lifelong member of Cedar Christian Church, now called New Disciples Christian Church.
Her family was her life. Annabell followed two guiding philosophies through her life: spiritually she received great comfort knowing that Christ is her Savior; and socially - she believed that if you were always kind to the people you meet in your life they would in turn be kind to you.
Annabell, whom Neale and some friends called Ann, did many unique and interesting things during her life. One of the most unique projects she undertook in the last years of her life was to write a book telling the story of her early life as a child growing up on a farm during the Great Depression. She told about walking a mile on clay-surfaced roads to get to a one room school house. She described how her family grew and raised their food from the land they lived on. Annabell spent several years researching dates, collecting photos, and writing script to complete the telling of her early life story. She completed the book in the fall of 2012 and presented the bound final work to her family at Christmas 2012.
The family wishes to express their deep appreciation to their cousin Joann HARGER Bender, RN (Harold's daughter) for helping her aunt through this difficult period.
A memorial fund has been established in Annabell's memory.

Special Valentine
When Ann Weaver, Route 3, Cedar Rapids, opened a 10-pound bag of potatoes last week, she discovered a potato shaped like a heart. "Well, here's my valentine," she said to herself.
Later in the week, Ann found more treasures inside her bag of potatoes: a potato shaped like a head with a prominent nose and another in the shape of a pair of trousers.
Putting the three potatoes together she came up with an unlikely character -- a farmer. Dressed in a tiny straw hat found among her grandchildren's toys and a neckerchief, she brought her version of Mr. Potato Head along with her grandchildren, Corey and Cara Vanderburgh, to The Gazette newsroom to have their picture taken.
She doesn't have any plans for her tuberous sculpture. "You get kind of attached" Ann says. "I don't think I can eat it."
Normally, the Neighbors staff and the others in the newsroom are more inclined to eat vegetables than photograph them. However, it's dreary of February and the laugh Mr. Potato Head proved was just too good to keep to ourselves.
