Barbara M. Weaver

Barbara M. (Emerson) Weaver, 79, of Manchester, NH, passed away peacefully on August 22, 2025, at her home, surrounded by the love and comfort of her family.

Born in Manchester on February 8, 1946, she was the daughter of Clifton F. and Hazel (Gerrish) Emerson. She was a lifelong resident of the Queen City.

She was a proud graduate of Manchester Memorial High School, Class of 1964. In her early years, she worked at New England Telephone Company, but her most treasured role was that of wife and mother, devoting herself wholeheartedly to raising her children and nurturing her home. Once her children were grown, Barbara embarked on a thirty-year career with Associated Grocers of New England, where she was a loyal and respected member of the payroll department.

Generous with her time and kind in spirit, Barbara also volunteered at the First United Methodist Church soup kitchen, always ready to help those in need. She found joy in simple pleasures, knitting, shopping, bowling, and sharing laughter with family and friends. Her happiest moments were those spent with her loved ones, whether celebrating holidays, marking milestones, or gathering for everyday visits.

Barbara was known for her strong independence; if something needed to be done, she made sure it was done right, in true Weaver fashion. She was also a private person, valuing her own quiet strength and self-reliance. Those who knew her will remember her as thoughtful, reliable, and deeply devoted.

She was married to her beloved husband of thirty-seven years, Stanley A. Weaver. He died July 8, 2008. She was also predeceased by her son, Jason C. Weaver, who died September 11, 1996.

Family members include three sons, Jeffrey A. Weaver and his wife, Stacie (Smith), of Pittsfield, NH, Joel C. Weaver and his wife, Wendy (Place), of Pittsfield, NH, James F. Weaver and his wife, Doris (Barriere), of Weare, NH; two granddaughters, Alyssa Mae Weaver and Mackenzie (Desilets) Wimsatt and her husband, Evan; three grandsons, Alex Weaver, Brandon Desilets and his fiancée, Madison St. George, Devyn Manning and his wife, Jodie, and Tobey Manning and his wife, Emma; an aunt, Margaret Mons; and several cousins.
