Joan Weening
– December 14, 2024
I could have let my family write my obituary after I was gone, but there were some things I wanted to be sure and say in my own words.
Joan Weening passed away on Dec. 14, 2024, leaving my husband, James Jr., of Sun City Center, where we spent 29 years together. We were married for 68 years. I also leave my devoted son, James III, of Bristol, Vermont, and daughter-in-law, Keeley, both who made sure to be with me to the end. Thank you.
I also leave behind five wonderful grandchildren, Addison, of Bristol, VT; Allison, of Hendersonville, NC; Thomas, of South Burlington, VT; James IV, of Bristol, VT; and Kellie (husband Killian), of Savannah, GA.
Sadly, I was predeceased by my son, Thomas, of Williston, VT, in 2016.
I also leave and loved my nephews, Charles Breiner, of Ohio, and Fred Fiorello, of New York, and great-neices, Miriam Napolitano, of Georgia, and Stephanie Napalitano of Vermont. I also leave my adopted nephew, Brian Gambero, of Milton, Vermont, to whom I will always be indebted.
In my lifetime I had many dear friends, Brigitte, Sue and Kathy in Florida; Dick and Carol in Vermont, with whom I had many good times together; and great neighbors and friends who all hopefully remember the good times we had together.
For many, I was known as a friend, but also many called me Mom; I liked to call them my adopted sons: Mike Patno of Vermont, John and Tom Morrie of Vermont as well as Dave Shuttleworth of Florida, all loved back as dearly.
I loved my Irish Connection Group and South Bay Genealogy Group, where I served on both boards.
I graduated from Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, NY, and was raised in Canarsie, NY. I had many accomplishments and adventures throughout my long life. Yet my family was always my pride and joy, and my wonderful friends were the wind beneath my wings.
I want everyone in my life to know how special they were to me and how I enjoyed all the good times together, good times and wonderful friendships.
Services for Joan will be at Sun City Center Funeral Home, 1851 Rickenbacker Drive, Sun City Center, FL 33573, from 10 to 11 a.m. Jan. 6, 2025, with burial to follow at Sarasota VA Cemetery, 9810 State Rd. 72, Sarasota, FL 34241.
