Perrie Frances Weir passed peacefully in the very early morning hours on the first day of Spring, March 20, 2013, at Hospitality Nursing and Rehab Center, Lubbock Texas. Perrie Frances “Kid” (Harber) Weir, born June 29, 1923 to R.D. & Dora Harber, in the Caps community of Abilene. Her Dad nicknamed her “Kid” (he gave nicknames to all their children and grandchildren). Frances met her future husband, Jack Charles “JC” Weir, at a service station on a corner of 1st street in Abilene. She caught his eye and they started dating, and were married January 3, 1942. After he returned from service during World War II, they lived in Abilene and then on to Calvert, near J.C.’s family. In the early 1950’s they moved to Hobbs then to Jal, New Mexico, where J.C. started work for and retired from Texaco. J.C. & Frances were married 50 years before his passing in February 1992. They were faithful Christians, attending the church of Christ in Monahans and then at Jal. Frances loved all her church family and neighbors at Jal, and she missed them very much after moving to Lubbock. Frances remained in Jal, until the end of September 2010, when she fell and broke her leg; requiring surgery, rehab and then permanent stay at Lubbock Hospitality Nursing and Rehab Center for the remainder of her time. She enjoyed many good times there; attending Sunday worship services, participating in many of the activities, playing the games and listening to the entertainment that came to share with the residents. She loved having her nails done and getting her hair fixed and most important, making sure she had just the right jewelry on to match her outfit for the day. She was also blessed to have a sweet roommate, Virginia; “The Girls” had lots of fun watching their daily soaps or special programs, sharing snacks together, laughing and teasing how we “daughters/daughters in law” tried to keep them “in line”. And we want to say very special thanks to all the staff at Hospitality House; Frances loved each of you very much. Frances was preceded in death by her parents, J.C’s parents, his brothers and sisters; her brothers and sisters and in laws: Evela Harber, JC & Doris Harber, Leonard & Johnnie Harber, W.C. & Hollyce Wilmeth, and Robert & Lavern Harber. Frances is survived by one son, Galen Weir and his wife, Debbie of Levelland. One grandson, Jason Weir and his wife, Joey of Moran; and great-grandchildren: Hunter Weir, Dylan Edwards, & Lauren Edwards & her fiancé, Collin Gandillon. She is survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to may send memorials to their favorite charity, or to the Jal Church of Christ: P.O.
