Anna Marie "Pat" Weist

LEWISBURG - Anna Marie "Pat" Weist, 92, of Lewisburg, a resident of Riverwoods, died Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022.

Pat was born in Mount Carmel, a daughter of the late John and Harriet (Edgar) Patrick.

She graduated from Mount Carmel High School, in 1947, and went to work as a bank teller in her hometown and Philadelphia.

After her marriage to Gordon native William Weist, in 1950, Pat lived most of her life in Lewisburg. She led a varied career as a homemaker, secretary, furniture showroom attendant at Pennsylvania House, furniture salesperson at Brookpark Farm and ophthalmic assistant.

Pat was resilient, persevering, caring and devoted to her family. She survived an extremely premature birth, a childhood battle with rheumatic fever and a breakthrough coronavirus infection. After starting her own family, Pat welcomed her father-in-law and later her parents into her household. She aided her father in recovering from a series of strokes and cared for her mother and later her husband through years of affliction with Alzheimer's disease. Her sacrifices for, and devotion to, her two sons were immeasurable.

Pat enjoyed cross stitching, crossword puzzles, Bucknell basketball and working on jigsaw puzzles in the puzzle room she helped establish at Riverwoods.

Pat is survived by a brother, Richard Patrick, of Hilton Head, South Carolina; two sons, Karl Weist, of Aiken, South Carolina, and Kurt Weist, of Harrisburg; a daughter-in-law, Ellison Weist, of Aiken, South Carolina; a granddaughter; and three great-grandchildren.
