Patricia Weeks

Patricia J. Weeks, 84, of Washington, IL, passed away on Monday, November 22, 2021, at Washington Senior Living.

She was born on September 16, 1937, in El Paso, IL, to Oswald & Marjorie Schramm Haas. Pat began her school years in a one-room schoolhouse in rural El Paso. She & her family moved to Washington, IL, when she was 7, so her schooling was finished at the local grade & high schools.

Many years later, she decided to return to school & graduated from Marian College located in Indianapolis, IN, in 1995 at the age of 57 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Shortly thereafter, she moved back to the Washington area to be close to family. She then worked at Snyder Village in Metamora, IL, as an R.N., retiring in 2013.

Surviving are four children... Kevin Weeks of Gurnee, IL, Kathryn Weeks Davis of Fort Wayne, IN; Kurt Weeks of Durham, North Carolina; Kent (Beth) Weeks of San Diego, CA; two sisters; Mariann Maxheimer & Joanna Roper, both of Washington, IL; seven grandchildren; Kelsey Castrejon, Kathleen Weeks, Michael Davis, Joseph Davis, Madison Davis, Olivia Hermosillo, Eli Weeks, and three great-grandchildren, Leia, Jax & Rooney. She was preceded in death by her brother Thomas Haas and her sister M. Jane Haas Hunt.

She was a member of St. Patrick Church in Washington, IL. A funeral mass will be held there at 11 am on Thursday, December 2, 2021. Visitation will be one hour prior to services. Private burial will be at Glendale Cemetery in Washington, IL. Cremation has been accorded.

The family would like to give a big 'shout out' of thanks to the OSF Home Hospice team, especially nurses Stephanie, Carol & Christine, and aides Jason, Angie B & Angie W, and Chaplain John. Because of their special skills, she was comfortable & at peace.
