By obits

Donna Marie Stahl Weaver, 60, of Smithton, passed away Sunday morning, May 17, 2020, in the comfort of her home, while being comforted by her loving family. She was born Sept. 7, 1959, in North Charleroi, the daughter of the late Donald and Maxine Comer Stahl. Donna was a graduate of Yough High School, Class of 1978. She was a member of Barren Run United Methodist Church. She was a cashier for Bill’s Golf Land on Route 51, Belle Vernon, for nearly 30 years. She was a member of Smithton Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary for a number of years. She loved to camp at the Hide Away Campground, Normalville, with her “peeps.” She was a very social person and was very involved in her community functions and certainly was loved by all. Donna is gone from our lives, but will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her: her loving and devoted husband, Lawrence E. Weaver, whom she married April 29, 2001; her loving children, Glenn Christner Jr. and wife Nichole of Smithton, Chad E. Christner and wife Sarah of West Newton; her loving step-children, Michael Weaver of Florida, Robert Weaver and wife Amy of Ridgley, W.Va., Eric Weaver of York and Brian Weaver and wife Crystal of Ridgley, W.Va.; her devoted grandchildren, Hannah Christner, Glenn Christner, Elliott and Phillip Christner and baby Christner to be born Aug. 3, 2020; her step-grandchildren, Robert L. Weaver, Phoebe Weaver, Meghan Weaver and Jacob Weaver; her loving siblings, Donald Stahl and wife Beth, Jackie Bruno and husband Don, Ronald Stahl and wife Annette, all off Smithton; and her loving fur baby, Max.
