Virginia Madge Weese, 89, loving wife, mother and grandmother, passed away on Nov. 6, 2026.
Born on Jan. 23, 1937, in Kerens, West Virginia, to Arthur Lee Hart and Louise Canfield Hart, where she attended Elkins High School until graduation in 1955. Shortly after high school Madge and her girlfriends got a job with the FBI Fingerprinting Department. While the position only lasted a few months it started a lifelong career in law enforcement.
On June 23, 1956, she married Norman D. Weese. They moved to Manassas, Virginia in 1963, where she began her career as deputy clerk in the juvenile and domestic relations courts in both Fairfax and Prince William County until she retired in 2005.
Madge was a member of Grace United Methodist Church, where she taught first and second grade Sunday School. She also enjoyed volunteering at Baldwin Elementary, where she served as a crossing guard and school lunchroom monitor. She would bang salt and pepper shakers on the table in order to get everyone's attention.
Madge loved to care for her family. Whether it was to make sure every trip had a pit stop for food “for the kids” or making sure the cabin was ready for baton twirling practice on every Forest Festival trip. Known as Meemaw to her grandkids she was always the one with the loudest laugh and an even bigger heart. She loved to spend time putting puzzles together and showing them the newest seal to her collection. She may have been a sore loser when she got beat in Aggravation, but she made up for it on Monday McDonaldás visits after their choir practice.
She also maintained decades long friendships with her golden girls which included monthly dinners. She enjoyed mimosas and annual beach trips to Oak Island with her cousins and friends. She was outspoken, determined and would help anyone who needed it. She loved to bring laughter to the room by always giving a funny gift at the annual Christmas party. But perhaps, Madge was most known for having the same hairstyle for over 50 years that she refreshed weekly. Even through all the challenges of her health and the loss of her husband in 2002 Madge continued to be a pillar of the family.
Madge is survived by her daughters, Kellie Renee Weese and Kimberly Ann Krzywicki and her husband, Raymond, of Manassas; her grandchildren, Ashleigh, Tyler, Hanna, Jacob, and Caleb; along with many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her husband, Norman D. Weese; her brother, Robert Lee Hart and wife, Joanne Shrader Hart; and her parents, Arthur Lee Hart and Louise Canfield Hart.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday Nov. 11 from noon-2 p.m. at Pierce Funeral Home in Manassas, Virginia, with a service at 2 p.m. A second visitation on Friday, Nov. 13 from 11am-1pm at Lohr & Barb in Elkins, West Virginia, with a service at 1 p.m. The Reverend Debra Lucas will officiate and interment to follow at Mountain State Memorial Gardens, Elkins, West Virginia.
