Barbara Ann (Dewey) Weeks, formerly of Troy, Ohio, entered the place her Lord and Savior had prepared for her on December 4, 2013.  There she joined those family members who preceded her passing:  her parents, Charles R. Dewey and Anna Mae (Dieffenderfer) Dewey, sister, Betty Mae Dewey, aunt, Eva Dewey, who was like a second mother to her, and her husband of 63 years, James D. Weeks .
