Thankfully I was able to search the web to find Mrs. Weaver's obit to post here.   She was always one of my favorites and was just fun to have as a teacher.  I recall when I was a sophomore, at the start of the year she waddled in (yes, waddled!!) pregnant with her boy and girl twin babies.   Russell Justice was in that class and he really gave Mrs. Weaver a run for her money, but she was humored by him.    She later had the babies, who were at least 7 pounds each.   It's hard to believe those children are now adults with kids of their own!!   I have to say, I cried when I heard of Mrs. Weaver's passing.   She is missed.
