Genevieve Weir, 91, of Pittsburgh, PA passed away on Saturday, July 9, 2016 of natural causes. She was born on August 18, 1924 to Henry Jason and Maud Elsie Haws in Boulder, UT.

Genevieve grew up in Boulder and attended college at Brigham Young University. She moved to California where she met Bill Weir. Bill and Genevieve married in 1949 in Las Vegas and moved to Bellevue in the city of Pittsburgh, PA. Daughter, Pam, joined the couple in 1951. Genevieve worked at Sears and Roebuck Co. for many years until retiring in 1984.

Genevieve was an avid hand quilter but would never sell a quilt. Her quilts will continue to be highly cherished by those lucky enough to receive one as a gift. She was a highly respected member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, North Hills where she was a friend and surrogate grandmother to many. She enjoyed making trips to the temple with her fellow church sisters and continued to do so, even into this year.
