Martina "Tina" H. (Morrison) Weed

Martina “Tina” H. (Morrison) Weed, 79, of Waverly, NY passed away Saturday evening, February 15, 2024, at the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA from a brief illness. Tina was born September 4, 1944, in Sayre, PA, the daughter of Martin Morrison and Mary (Byron) Morrison. She was a graduate of Sayre Area High School and subsequently graduated from the Ithaca School of Practical Nursing as an LPN (since closed). After graduating nursing school, Tina worked as a nurse for a few years prior to choosing to be a top notch, stay-at-home mom for her Jerry Mike. Tina is survived by her son, Gerald Michael Weed Jr., very good friend, Jason Grover & family, long time, sister-like friends, Sharon Lovell and Cindy Kingston, long time, daughter-like friends Theresa Pipher and Killeen Kane-McCarthy, dog-Cassie, cuddle buddy of a cat-DeeDee, several nephews, and many wonderful friends in her church and community. In addition to her parents, Tina was predeceased by her loving husband of 56 years (at the time of his passing), Gerald “Jerry” Weed, twin sister Marlene Morrison, of whom she adored, two additional sisters Rosemary (Morrison) Gillan and Beatrice “BeeBee” (Morrison) Limerick, special friend Dimitri Moshkov, whom Tina regarded as a son, dear friend, Mary Ann Kane, and a special soul of a friend (whom she held a special place in her heart) in the late Mrs. Doris Sindoni. A lifelong resident of the Sayre/Waverly area, Tina went to the Epiphany Elementary School in her youth, of which her mother was a teacher. She lost her father while young, but often shared her love of memories of his fiddle playing. As loving partners with husband, Jerry, she took pride in designing and constructing/building their first real home as a young family, an authentic log cabin in the Town of Barton. When stepping away from nursing, to stay at home with young son Jerry Mike Jr., Tina was highly involved in the parent organization of the former St. James Elementary School in Waverly, helping serve faithfully as a class mom for he and his schoolmates with a loving pride of providing baked goodies and volunteer time. Later in life, she gave of herself being a private in-home caregiver for one consistent client/friend. She also took great pride in obtaining her real estate license and serving as a realtor for the local Century 21 brokerage for a number of years. In a later chapter of life, she worked at the former Langan’s Pharmacy in downtown Sayre for a number of years as a pharmacy technician with many wonderful co-workers. In the days past, one of the favorite things of Tina would be to attend local Irish Festivals and Hibernian events, to lend support and enjoy the fellowship. She willingly gave numerous hours of her time alongside wonderful friends in support of St. James Church at their Summer Festivals, bake sales, and all kinds of events. Her love and focus revolved around anything her son, Jerry Mike, Jr. was involved with as a child—whether it be Little League, Cub Scouts, piano lessons, or other youth sports/activities. In the late 1980’s, through the experience of watching the passion, hard work, and joy of children of dear friends, alongside her husband, Tina fell in love with the sport of wrestling. For many a winter/spring, Tina was known to do whatever she could, to support fundraising or make the best brownies as a reward for the young teammates, after their weigh-in, and be a loving, passionate fan of all the wrestlers; at times being innocently overzealous in her support by cheering more fervently than some might deem ok (even “infamous” for once being forced to give up her over-enthusiastic, cowbell in the middle of a pivotal HS match at a packed Canton HS gymnasium, in her joyful but supportive naivety). Her support for the children involved with teams and especially of her good friends was unmatched. Tina enjoyed camping, thrifting and antique chasing, and finding/giving gestures for those in her life she wanted to bless. Alongside her twin sister, she enjoyed taking bus trips to regional casinos to enjoy the slot machines and have fellowship, along with many a bingo hall. She worked behind the scenes with pride for years, alongside her husband Jerry to design and renovate properties, with an eye for spaces and the redesign finishing touches. Tina was a longtime, parishioner of St. James Catholic Church in Waverly, and a member of the Altar Rosary Society. She gave much of her time and passion over the years to many worthy events and fundraisers. Her personal love for her Lord Jesus Christ and an unwavering devotion to the Virgin Mary, was a quiet, but most sincere priority in her heart. Her love of animals was beautiful; having many pets over the years and wishing to help so many more, demonstrated by the loving decree of her husband Jerry, on more than one occasion that—“ Tina would bring home a skunk if I’d let her!”. She will be forever loved and missed by her son, Jerry Mike and countless others that she showered her giving love to. Family and friends will receive friends for a time of calling from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Thursday, February 22nd at the Alteri-Bowen Funeral Home, 314 Desmond St., Sayre, PA, followed at 6:00 p.m. by a Vigil Prayer Service. A graveside service will be held Friday, February 23rd at 11:00 a.m. at Saint James Cemetery, Waverly, NY under the direction of Alteri-Bowen Funeral Home-all are welcome. The family reserves a very special thank you to Amy Brisson for her tender, affectionate care for Tina in some of her final blessed days.
