Elizabeth (“Libby”) Cryan Weeks, 85, of Fairfax, VA, passed away on Thursday, December 15, 2022, in Alexandria, VA.
Libby was born in 1937 in Brooklyn, N.Y. to RADM Edward Joseph Fahy USN and Cecelia Mary Finn and was the oldest of their five children. The family lived in many places including on both coasts of the United States due to her father’s Naval career.
She attended St. Joseph’s College in Emmitsburg, MD and Dominican College in San Rafael, CA. After college she worked as a TWA flight attendant during the late 1950’s and later worked as a dental receptionist for several different dentists.
On November 12, 1960, she married the love of her life George “Skip” Roland Weeks, Jr., a 1960 U.S. Naval Academy graduate, and they were happily married for 59 years. Libby was inseparable from her husband and always said they had a great life together.
Libby was a loyal and supportive Navy wife, and the family moved multiple times during her husband’s Naval career including duty stations in France, California, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Libby was an avid sports fan from childhood and would listen to sporting events on the radio with her grandfather. She later enjoyed watching all types of sports in person and on television with her husband. No one was prouder than Libby of her three granddaughters’ high school and collegiate volleyball and golf accomplishments.
Family was always the most important thing to her. Libby was a loyal and devoted wife and mother and a proud grandmother and great grandmother.
Libby was everybody’s friend, always had a smile on her face, and was full of life.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, her parents, and her two sisters, Antoinette Gaylord and Kathleen Lindsay.
Libby is survived by her two daughters, Jacqueline Weeks Brooks (Robert) and Jennifer Diane Connatser (Scott); her sister, Bridget Flint, and her brother, Edward Fahy; her three granddaughters, Tiffany Morris (Phil), Shannon Brooks, and Brittany Connatser; and her great granddaughter, Blake Morris.

Libby will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery alongside her beloved husband, Skip, at a future date.
