Mary Elizabeth Weakley, age 100, of Livonia, passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by family, on Saturday, September 7, 2024. Left to cherish her memory are five of her six children: Tom (Sharon) Weakley, Kathleen (Gene) Dunwoodie, Tim (Lauri) Weakley, Kevin Weakley, and Bridget Weakley; her nine grandchildren, and her 12 great-grandchildren. Mary is preceded in death by her parents; her son, Terry Weakley; and her long-time companion, Gene.
Mary was born June 24, 1924, in Detroit, the daughter of the late Mr. Bernard and Christine (Murphy) Schueren. She took great pride in being a member of the first graduating class of Immaculata High School in Detroit. Throughout her life, Mary was a talented artist, model, and ballet dancer. She greatly enjoyed passing the time by working on one of her many paintings and sketches. She also loved history, and could always be found reading a good book. She was a wonderful woman who will be greatly missed.
In accordance with Mary’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A private Memorial Mass for Mary’s immediate family will take place at a later date.
