Biography
Weir was born on her parents’ farm in Franklin County, Indiana, on 16 February 1909. She married her husband, Lawrence, in 1928, and they subsequently moved to Indianapolis, Indiana for two years. She worked in the cafeteria of an elementary school for 23 years, while her husband ran an auto body repair business. The couple had four children, and in 1940 they moved to Fortville, Indiana. Lawrence died in 1963.

Weir has been a parishioner at her local St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic church for 79 years. As well as teaching catechism, she also chauffeured nuns from St. Michael Parish in Greenfield to teach catechism at St. Thomas, helped clean the church, served dinners at parish functions, and was part of a St. Thomas women’s euchre club. In 1948, when she and her family moved to Ingalls, a few miles north of Fortville, they sold their home to the parish for use as a rectory.

Weir currently lives in Fortville, Indiana, in an apartment she bought after her retirement in 1981. For over a decade she has been cared for by her daughter, Peggy. She celebrated her 110th birthday in February 2019.
