WEIR, Patti Weir

Peacefully at Bethell Hospice surrounded by the love of family and friends, Patricia (Patti) Weir passed away on August 25, 2025.

Beloved sister to David of Pefferlaw and adored aunt to Vanessa, Nicole, Victoria, Veronica, and David, Jr. Loved deeply by her Griffith cousins and their families: Gail (the late Ed Moore), Jane (Dave Clyde), Jim (Cynthia), Nancy (Albert Henderson), Elaine (David Kortko), Paul (Jean) and Janice (Mike Buccos)(the late Pat Pringle). Predeceased by her parents James and Shirlee Weir and cousin, Susan.

Born April 14, 1962, in Pefferlaw, a town that held wonderful memories throughout her years, Patti graduated from Sutton District High School going on to further her education at Trent University and obtaining her Bachelor of Education Degree from Queen’s University. A teacher in the Orangeville Catholic schools for 35 years, Patti was an exceptional teacher. Her dedication, commitment, and joy of learning was evident, making a positive impact on many.

From a young age, Patti was an avid baseball player and curler and this passion for sport continued throughout her life. For many years, she was a passionate member of the Sutton and Orangeville Curling Clubs, always volunteering generously, sharing her knowledge of the game with new members, and introducing the sport to the local elementary schools.

Summers were spent at her trailer on Buckhorn Lake in her boat, relaxing lakeside, barbecuing, and sitting by the campfire into the “wee hours of the morning”. Patti’s love for the Blue Jays was well known, exceeded only by her love for her dogs, Betti and Dori. They were her steadfast companions accompanying her on roadtrips, participating regularly in school activities, and providing comfort during life’s challenges. She was particularly proud of and treasured her nieces and nephew whom she happily allowed to dominate her conversations with others.

Patti delighted in traveling. She journeyed throughout Canada (Quebec City being a favourite destination), studied in Hawaii, toured Europe twice, vacationed in the warmer islands, and ventured through the United States. Seeing new sites was not enough for her; she wanted to know and understand more of the culture, history, geography, and perspectives of others.

Her creativity and willingness to explore new opportunities led her to develop many new skills, talents and interests. These included barbecuing, pickling, painting, scrapbooking, and playing guitar. Her ability to recall trivia, historical facts, and detail was astounding.

Patti’s kindness, generosity, and love for all will remain forever in the hearts of family and friends. She left this world – as she lived her life – with peace, calm and humility.
