Elizabeth Geraldine Varney Weeks, or Gerry (as she loved to be called), 90, finished her earthly race at 11:45a.m. on Sunday, August 27, 2017. She had been a resident of Brethren Village in Lancaster, PA, for the past 6 years.  Gerry was born prematurely in Varney, WV, on October 21st, 1926, but her birth was not recorded at the county seat until November 1st. She was the second child of Alexander & Myrtle (Meade) Varney.  She was married in Huntington, WV, to John Neil Weeks on June 21, 1946, at Grace Gospel Church by Pastor Melvin Efaw. She graduated from Huntington High School & took several Bible courses at Philadelphia School of the Bible in preparation for missionary service. Before marriage Gerry worked as a teller and retail clerk. She grew up in Chesapeake, OH, weathered the flood of '42 then moved to Huntington, WV, then on to Philadelphia, PA, after her marriage to John. She then spent over 33 years with her family planting five churches alongside John in Martinique in the French West Indies. During that time, she learned to speak French and Creole. She also taught herself how to play the pump organ as she wrote, organized and led multiple children's programs for Christmas and other occasions. She served in several local Martiniquan churches training young men & women to teach children and adults how to lead music as well as teaching ladies and young people how to cook, bake cakes and prepare simple meals. While she accomplished these tasks she also homeschooled 3 children up to high school grades. She served as nurse, cook, counselor, discipler, midwife, funeral assistant and anything else she was called upon to do.  After she and John retired for the first time from Evangelical Baptist Missions they were asked to open the field of France for a Baptist mission agency in 1986 and served faithfully until 1994 when they retired a second time. Then in 1997 they were asked to replace another missionary couple while they were on a brief 1-year furlough. Gerry was always ready to serve others as best she could.  Gerry is survived by her 3 children, daughter Lois (husband David Richards) of Huntington, WV; daughter, Marie (husband John Prichard) of Lancaster, PA; and son, Timothy (wife Marsha Weeks) of Lafayette, IN; 9 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, as well as a sister-in-law, Lawassa Varney, and brother-in-law, Ralph Colburn and several nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her husband, John Neil Weeks (2008), her grandson, Jacob Silas Weeks (1992) as well as all of her siblings, Bertha Curry, Anna Ruth VandeBunte, Herbert Varney & MaryLou Colburn and two nieces.  A Viewing will be held in the Andrew T.

They went above and beyond to make her stay comfortable until the very end. Also, we would like to say a special thanks to the Masonic Homes Hospice Team for their compassionate care for Gerry in her final hours. Their genuine care, professionalism and attention to detail was characteristic of the fine work that Hospice professionals strive to exemplify. Last of all Gerry’s family would like to thank the Grace Gospel Church family and Immanuel Baptist Church, Richmond, VA (their sending church), for their consistent care and commitment to both John & Gerry over their 50+ years of missionary service. Thank you for loving and honoring Mom & Dad!!! May God richly bless you!
