Jane Louise Weaver

Jane Louise Dennis Weaver, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, went to her Heavenly place on October 13, 2019, at the age of 74.  She was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on February 26, 1945, to Thomas Lee and Willa (Benedict) Dennis.  She is survived by her husband of 50 years, William Weaver; daughter, Melissa Brown and husband, Steve; daughter, Melanie Sparks and husband, Mike; grandchildren Baylee and Hannah Brown, Carlee and Logan Sparks.  She is also survived by several cousins, a niece and a brother-in-law.  She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Michael Dennis; and, her sister, Carol Lee Cralle.

She graduated from Harding High School in Oklahoma City and attended college at Oklahoma State University.  She obtained her Bachelor of Business degree later in life from the University of Phoenix.  Janie held many administrative and bookkeeping jobs through the years, her most memorable being at the Yellow Cab Co.  She worked part-time most years so that she could be a devoted and involved mother to her two daughters while they were growing up.

Janie was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer in 2006.  After radiation and chemotherapy treatment, she was declared cancer-free in 2007, and considered herself a miracle.  She celebrated her 65th birthday by getting her first and only tattoo, a butterfly with a cancer ribbon interlaced.  She remained cancer-free for the remainder of her life.

She was a loving wife and mother, and, most of all, a loving and devoted Gramma to her four grandchildren, who were the light of her life.  When she retired from her last job, she helped to care for her grandchildren.  In her retirement, she enjoyed traveling, reading and, obsessively at times, researching genealogy.  She dragged Bill to many a cemetery looking for distant family members.  She was a college football fan and very rarely missed an OSU or OU game on television.

At Janie’s request, cremation has taken place.  Memorial service will be held on November 22, 2019, 2:00 p.m., in Sandia Presbyterian Church, 10704 Paseo Del Norte NE.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Janie’s name to the American Cancer Society or the American Diabetes Association.
