Alice Weaver

Alice Marie Weaver, 88, of Portland, Indiana, formerly of Redkey, Indiana, passed peacefully on Sept. 5, 2024, surrounded by the love of family at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana. 

Alice was born in Dunkirk, Indiana, on April 26, 1936, a daughter of the late Crystal (Kaufman) and Woodrow Hamilton. She was a 1954 graduate of Dunkirk High School, hostess for the famous Yesteryears Restaurant in Redkey, Indiana, and formerly employed by the Redkey Bakery, McCord’s Dime Store, the Albany Drive In, Indiana Glass, Armstrong Cork, Dairy More and the Redkey Canning Factory, all of which are sadly no longer in existence. 

Alice was the loving wife of the late Jay M. Weaver, a member of Redkey Church of the Nazarene and former president of the Redkey Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. Although she has witnessed the small towns she grew to know struggling to survive, she remained the kindhearted and compassionate lady with a sunny disposition who loved people, flowers, playing cards, listening to Blake Shelton, watching the Hallmark Channel, shopping at Hobby Lobby, cooking, reading and crocheting. 

Alice is survived by her son, Bryan Weaver (Patricia); daughter Bobbi Jo Louck (Richard); grandchildren Matt Weaver (Amy), Janette Huber (Daniel), Eric Evans (Bridgette), Coral Rees (Jameson), Jon Weaver, Zach Louck (Macy), Shelbi Blankenbaker (Trevor), Allison Muhlenkamp (Brandon) and Maddison Newton (Chance); 10 great-grandchildren and two more on the way; and several nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Jay; son Daniel L. Weaver; and seven brothers, William, David, Rick, John, Ron, Gordon and Ivan Hamilton.
