Shirley Ann Weidner

Shirley Ann Weidner, age 92, passed away at Marquette Hospice House on February 3, 2025, after a brief illness.

Shirley was born on September 2, 1932, in Meadville, the daughter of the late Lee and Reba (McArthur) Johnson. She graduated from Springboro High School.

Shirley married Stanley Weidner on September 4, 1954, and dedicated her life to creating a loving home for him and their four daughters. Shirley was broken-hearted after losing the love of her life of 70 years.

“Nana”, “Grammy” loved her family and understood what a great gift her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were to her. Along with her family, she loved gardening, crafting, camping, reading books and going to the beach. She made many memories with her family at Presque Isle, Virginia Beach, Florida, and Cape May. She was the “sunshine” of our lives.

Shirley is survived by her four daughters, Joni Davis of Conneaut Lake; Connie Carter (Rob) of Hanoverton, Ohio; Darcy Paradise (Mark) of Edinboro, Pennsylvania; and Melani Spaeder (James) of Erie, Pennsylvania. She is also survived by his seven grandchildren, Tyler (Janet) Davis of Wellington, Florida; Wesley (Elyse) Davis of Greenwood, South Carolina; Maggie (Hubert) Pierre of Smyrna, Georgia; McCavitt Carter (Susie Scott) of Arlington, Virginia; Lange Carter of Arlington, Virginia; Marcus (Rachel) Paradise of Fairview, Pennsylvania; and Joshua (Erin) Paradise of Ambridge, Pennsylvania. In addition, she is survived by six great grandchildren, Claire Davis, Zella Davis, Maisie Davis, Zoey Paradise, Jaxon Paradise, and Miles Paradise.

She is proceeded in death by her loving husband, Stanley Weidner, her brother Bob Johnson, her sister Wilma McQuiston, and her stepfather, Clayton Danforth.
