JUST POSTING THE OBITUARY ON MARY CATHERINE "WEEDIE" PEARSON FROM THE DAYTON (OH) DAILY NEWS 4/19/06 Mary Catherine "Weedie" Pearson, her heart was solid gold, strong, pure, and full of coogness. She stood for family values and always made a place for family in her home.She was kind and generous to her family, friends, and even complete strangers. She was gracious upon receiving gifts and always wanted you to take them back. She loved to live the simple life; to sit on the front porch and wave to neighbors, to bargain shop for antiques, and to cook warm country meals for anyone who would stay to eat. She expected nothing in return for her kindness because she knew she would be rewarded by the Lord. Born in Lewisburg KY, she married at 14 to William Irvine Pearson, the man she would share 64 years of her life with. After moving to Dayton, she raised their two children Billie Leffew and Louise Blanton. She will be missed by four grandchildren Ronald Blanton, Linda Blanton, Glory Meade, and Derek Leffew. She was revered by her six great grandchildren, Michael Blanton, Jeffrey ! Waite, Jason Waite, Christie Healy, Christopher Blanton, and Brittany Blanton. She will be a legend to her 11 great great grandchildren Mason, Aiden, Isabella, Kiersten, Lillian, Ava, Cassidy, Danielle, Candice, Trevor, and Makayla. The family would like to offer their sincere thanks for the devotion of those that cared for Mary "Weedie" in her time of need; Kathy, Lou Anne, Leslie, Charles, and Wanda. We would also like to thank Comfort Keepers for allowing her to spend her entire life in her home; Lindy, Summer, Mary, and Betty. A special thanks to April and Hospice of Dayton for their generosity and empathy. Mary found the serenity to accepts the things she couldn't change, the courage to change the things she could, and the wisdom to know the difference.
