Lillian Weisberg Obituary

Mrs. Lillian Mary Elizabeth Stone Weisberg, 90, of 7627 Old Receiver Road, Frederick, died Thursday, March 20, at Frederick Memorial Hospital.

She was the wife of Dr. Harold Weisberg, who died Feb. 21, 2002.

Born in Hyattstown, on April 13, 1912, she was a daughter of the late Charles and Lillie M. Burdette Stone.

Mrs. Weisberg spent early years in Capitol Hill, where she worked as an administrative clerk. Following her marriage, she and her husband started Coq D'or Poultry Farm in Hyattstown, where they supplied foul to embassies, foreign countries and to President and Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower. She was an avid cook and participated in numerous poultry cooking contests.

In later years they moved to Frederick and she worked for H&R Block and then privately as an accountant in her home.

Mrs. Weisberg had received an honorary doctorate from Hood College, along with her husband, for their many contributions to their research and published books on the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King.

She was a very strong supporter of the Native American Indians Society and as a Democratic party supporter.

Mrs. Weisberg was a member of the Shookstown Civic Association, and had a great love for the mountains and her flower gardens.

She is survived by a brother, Edwin Stone of Capitol Heights; one sister, Hazel Sawyer of Elizabeth City, N.C.; and many nieces and nephews, including Linda and Mark Hoffman of Frederick.

She also will be remembered by friend and caregiver, Katy Mossburg of Frederick.

She was preceded in death by one brother, Robert Stone; and one sister, Belle Stone Crolley.

The family will receive friends from 3 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, March 24, at Keeney and Basford Funeral Home, 106 E. Church St., Frederick.
