Maxine Lynn Weaver

Maxine Lynn McDonough Weaver, age 73 of Thurmond passed away Saturday, December 2, 2023 at Woltz Hospice Home in Dobson.

Maxine was born July 1, 1950 in Berks County, PA to Raymond L. and Milly Jane Elliott McDonough.

Maxine grew up in Mohrsville, PA where her mom’s Elliott clan gathered on Sundays to share Sunday dinner and all the cousins got together for Grammy’s home cooking.  Maxine was an accomplished organist and showed an early affinity for music; she also excelled at tap dancing in her early school years.  Her love of music extended to her time at Schuylkill Valley High School where she sang in the Senior Chorus and Valley Singers.  She was a member of the SVHS graduating class of 1968.  Most of her career was in health care in Nursing Administration and Hospital Administration, retiring from Atrium Health in 2018.  Maxine began working for Scope Anesthesia, NC in 2019 until the time of her passing.

The absolute love of her life was her family.  There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them.  She loved to entertain, frequent her favorite restaurants, and absolutely loved to dance.  Travel was another of her passions, mostly traveling to Florida. Key West, Jamaica and Aruba were her favorite.  In later years, building her retirement home was her joy!  Enjoying the mountains in Thurmond, NC gave her peace.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Survivors include:  her husband, David Scott Weaver of the home; son, Jeffrey R Gehris and wife Deb of Jim Thorpe, PA; daughter, Katie Popovici and husband Chip of Huntersville, NC; grandchildren, Trista Gehris, Juli Popovici, Jaxson Gehris, Lauren Popovici and her faithful, most precious dog, Cody; brother, Patrick McDonough and wife Gerry; niece, Lauren Lebois and husband Evan and family; nephews, James McDonough and wife Molly and family, Richard McDonough.
