Eileen Weaver
EILEEN F. WEAVER
Vinton
Eileen F. Weaver, 70, of Vinton, passed away Jan. 9, 2017, at UnityPoint Hospice in Cedar Rapids following a courageous struggle with corticobasal degeneration (CBD).
A celebration of Eileen's life will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, Cedar Rapids, with the Rev. Lloyd E. Brockmeyer officiating. Interment will be held in Lenox Cemetery, rural West Amana, at a later date.
Eileen was born Feb. 18, 1946, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the daughter of Walter and Eleanor (Mealman) Uthoff. She graduated from Norway High School with the Class of 1964. On Feb. 20, 1965, she was united in marriage to Michael Weaver. She enjoyed many careers, including teaching cooking schools, interior design, sales, homemaking and caring for children. She especially cherished her service to St. Paul's UMC.
Eileen was an avid reader, fantastic cook, angel collector, and enjoyed traveling, sewing, music, art and entertaining. She blessed so many with her talents and her ability to make all things beautiful. Her life was dedicated to her faith and giving selflessly to others. In that spirit, she will continue to bless others as a participant in the Iowa Deeded Body Program at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine.
She was preceded in death by her father, Walter Uthoff; her brother, Duane Uthoff; and her parents-in-law, Sid and Helen Weaver.
Her beautiful life will forever be cherished by her husband, Michael Weaver; sons, Jeff (Shawn) Weaver of Rockwell and Jay Weaver of Nashville, Tenn.; daughter, Angela (Jeff) Dooley of Shellsburg; mother, Eleanor Uthoff of Amana; sisters, Bonnie (Jerry) Callahan and Diane (Bob) Caffrey; sister-in-law, Dotty Uthoff; brothers Tom (Pat) Uthoff and Dale (Diane) Uthoff; grandchildren, Jacob and Jacie Weaver and Trey and Ryan Dooley; and many dear aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Memorials may be given to support the preservation of her childhood country church, the Jasper Colony and Lenox Church in rural West Amana.
The family of Eileen wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Rock Ridge Care Facility in Shellsburg, Mayo Clinic's Neurology Department, UnityPoint Hospice and Julie Hoffman ARNP at UnityPoint Clinics in Vinton.
