Weaver, Mary Logan

December 30, 1923 - February 9, 2022

Mary Logan Weaver was born December 30, 1923, and was married May 11, 1948, both in Carthage, MO. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Grey Weaver, Sr. (Dick); father, William Rozelle Logan; mother, Frances Lillian Sutton; brother, Dick Logan. She is survived by her children, Grey Weaver, Jr. (Ferrell Clay), Nancy Weaver (Dave Dandridge), Jennifer Baldwin (Lowry); grandchildren, Erin Smith (Jake), Becca Harford (Jeremy), Abby Jackson (John), Trevor Baldwin (Erin), Keenan Baldwin (Sarah), Hannibal Baldwin (Emily); great-grands, Carver, Lucy, and Simon Smith, Dylan Stewart and Maren Harford, Ronan and Cian Jackson, Finn, Crew, River, Forrest, Maverick, Malin, and Mara Baldwin; nephew, Bill Logan; cousin, Tom Wiggins.

Mary received a horse as a gift from her mother at 6 years old when her father died. The horse, named Ginger, had a stall out back of her Grandpa's home where she grew up just off the square in Carthage, MO. Mary was a champion swimmer and diver as a teenager. Ginger rode the train east with Mary to attend Sullins College in Virginia for a couple of years. Then Mary matriculated to Washington University in St. Louis, where she majored in Political Science and met a young medical student on a double blind date. They married, and life with the military took them on the road from the Midwest and eventually they landed in Winston-Salem, NC, where they took root and raised a family.

Mary excelled in friends, community, gardening, artistic crafts, athletics, a supportive role to Dick, and creating a home and raising a family. She was a champion as mother, always encouraging and ready for adventure. Her smile, kindness, grace, wit, energy, and commitment were her trademarks. Mary was a wonderful role model for all who follow in her path.

She passed peacefully on February 9th, 2022 at Arbor Acres. The family is grateful for the loving care of many staff at Arbor Acres over the past decade. The communal support of Mary's and Dick's friends over the years in town, at St. Paul's, and Arbor Acres has been a comfort and inspiration. Angie Hendrix was a match made in heaven for the past eight years for Mary and Dick. Her companionship and care were invaluable.

A memorial will be held at a later date when family can gather to celebrate her life well lived. She will be interred in the garden at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Winston-Salem. Details will be announced in coming weeks. Any memorial gifts please make to St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Condolences may be made online at www.salemfh.com.
