Margie Weaver peacefully passed away on the morning of July 13, 2023, in Austell, GA, at the age of
89. She was born on January 23, 1934, in Beaumont, TX, to the late William and Mable Hopper. Margie
was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.
Margie is survived by her loving husband, Gilbert Weaver (of whom she shared 70 years of marriage),
their son Lomax Weaver, and daughter-in-law LaNitha Weaver. Margie will be forever remembered by
her grandchildren Christopher Weaver, Alia Michel, Jon Weaver, Adam Weaver, and great-grandchildren
Logan Michel, Mila Michel, and Gabriel Weaver. Margie also leaves behind her brothers William Hopper
and Ralph Hopper, sisters Myrtle Jules (her twin) and Iris White, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Margie was preceded in death by her daughter Ava Weaver, brothers Carl Anthony and Bobby Hopper.
Margie may have been born in Texas but her heart was in New Orleans, Louisiana where she was
raised. New Orleans was home and it had a major influence on her speech and cooking style. She
loved to cook for family and friends. After marrying Gilbert in 1953, she moved to Chicago, Illinois. Los
Angeles, California was home for over 40 years where she was employed as a day care teacher
providing love and care to young children and guidance to their parents. To be closer to their
grandchildren Gilbert and Margie moved to Powder Springs, Georgia in 2001 where Margie was active in
her community. She was a loyal friend and she spent quality time in service and fellowship with the
Mature Women's Group of Marietta Christian Church.
Margie will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She was a kind and spirited woman. Her desire to
serve others touched the lives of many, and her memory will be cherished forever.
I am saddened by the news of Ms Margie passing she was like a second mom to me and my siblings. 106th street was a close place with a family atmosphere. We walked to Ascension together and enjoyed hanging out at each others houses. I will always remember the Weaver family even though its been many years since we have spoken. May Ms Margie rest in peace and my love goes out to the family.

Margie, my dear sister-in-law, you will forever be missed but never forgotten. Never shy of your opinion good or not, but always with love. Remembering you always. Beverly
You will be missed as much as loved. You brought laughter along with wisdom so often to our conversations. Rest in peace,my friend. Gwenn Tilry
Hey Gran! I remember meeting you for the first time and you looked me up and down and said "this him?" 😊 I love how real you always were. Thats why we got along so well. I will miss the little punches you gave me when I disagreed with something you said. Or when I didn't move quick enough after you had given me a command. We definitely would have been best friends if I was born during your time. Our wild spirits definitely matched. I miss you Gran. My heart is hurting right. I can't see typing because the tears won't stop. I will celebrate your life always and share stories with your great-grabs children so they never forget you. You never made me feel unwelcomed and for that I love you always! Rest in Peace. Love your grandson-in-law Gerald Michel.
I will always remember your beautiful smile. Thank you for touching my life and the lives of many others. Sincerely Anna&Steven Williams
Auntie Margie always had a special place in my heart for her generosity and straightforward wisdom. She and uncle Gilbert opened their home to my parents and eight little kids when we arrived in Los Angeles from New Orleans . I too will miss those phone calls that always started out 'just checking on you'. Love you auntie. 💕❤️🙏 Doreen
It was a wonderful time a while back when she was in the Mature Women ministry with us. She added her wisdom, and joy! Bless her memories! Condolences and Prayers to the family! Phil4:13 Margaret McCants and family.
We were saddened to hear about the loss of Ms. Margie. Though we didn't have the opportunity to know her well, her son's strong devotion to both family and God speaks volumes about the kind of person she must have been. May the love and values she imparted live on through her family, and may you all continue to find strength and comfort during this time of loss. Our heartfelt condolences and love are with you, Joseph and Gwen.
What I will miss most about Aunt Margie is her laugh and our many random phone conversations.. I have to agree with my sister Carra; growing up I thought Aunt Margie was the mean twin but as I got older I understood and RESPECTED HER even more , She was just real! Man typing this I just got emotional 🥺.. Rest Well Aunt Margie! You will forever be in my heart Love You ❤️Jermaine A.
My dear sweet Aunt Margie. there isn't a time I don't remember her being a part of my life. she was always the nice one to me, my grandma being the more stern one. she was the ying to her yang. the mornings waking up as a kid and her and my grandma talking on the phone for hours. then her calling in the evenings. her calling me as a teenager giving me the talk about boys. I miss hearing her voice, and most of all her laugh. she would always ask me how the kids were, and if I was getting enough rest. I really wish they could have met her. she was such a kind, loving soul. heaven gained a beautiful angel.
Aunt Margie will truly be missed, I say till this day that I had a great childhood growing up. I have to give thanks to you for being a strong minded, loving, and nurturing Aunt in my life that took me under your wing. You were there for me as a child on up to Adulthood. I'm so glad I got to spend some time with you before Covid it took over the world. We picked back up where we left off at. Reminiscing, cooking, and me combing that pretty hair of yours. You were truly be missed Auntie. I thank you for always being their for me my mom and Desmond. I love you dearly, rest peacefully, Dana
Miss Margie and I bonded over one conversation when I respectfully interrupted a conversation that she and my mom were having during fellowship. My mom introduced me to her and she turned to me and began talking with me as if we were old friends. We bonded over being preschool teachers and also a city we both knew and loved, Los Angeles. My mom always enjoyed chatting with her and considered her a big sister. We were both very sad at the news of her passing but find comfort in knowing she's gone Home. I pray for her entire family to find peace and comfort in this conviction as well. To God be all the glory and praise.
Margie was funny also full of wisdom. I loved talking to her during our mature women's meetings and often called her at home. She will be missed but never forgotten by the mature women of BridgePointe Church in Marietta, Georgia
Our hearts are with you all in sadness and in prayer for all the Weaver Family. May you find the peace that we don't understand. Love Quentin,Shirley,Liam,Dillon&Jewel
Mrs. Weaver will be missed. Praying for the Weaver family. So sorry for your loss. Love Denisia
Aunt Margie will truly be missed, she was not only my auntie but she was also my Godmother. She played a big part in raising me with Grandmother and Aunt Myrt on 70th St. in Los Angeles. Just mirroring the previous comment, I always thought she was the "mean twin" but as I got older I realized it was all in love and them twins was my FAVORITE aunties. I will cherish all the memories I have and may you rest in heaven Auntie. I will always love you❤️ Sincerely Carra
Aunt Margie was always a force in my life. "The mean twin," is how I thought of her when I was a little girl. I know now that she was the stern one. She did not tolerate any nonsense, and absolutely no smart mouth. As an adult she became one of my best friends. She always kept up with me. She made it her business to know where I was what I was doing and who I was doing it with. She loved, encouraged, guided, admonished, supported, laughed and cried with me. I respected her and knew she always had my best interests at heart. She did not bite her tounge or mince words. I miss knowing I can pick up the phone, call her, and hear her voice, as she says, "Hey Baby! How you doin and how are those boys?" She was and will always be Great in my world. May she rest in peace as my love for her lives on.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
