Rose Anne Weaver was a Galesburg native who went to college when few women did and carried on that trail-blazing legacy as a force in the local business and philanthropic communities. Weaver died Friday at the age of 91. Weaver graduated from Galesburg High School in 1947, and attended the University of Illinois, and also took classes at Carl Sandburg College. She held positions at Brown Speciality and Admiral Corporations but her longest tenure came at Galesburg Broadcasting Company which WGIL is a part of. Weaver spent 35 years with the radio stations first as a bookkeeper then an office manager, and also an account executive. Her obituary from Hinchliffe Pearson West says she had a “strong love for Galesburg.” That was clear from her time serving on the Lincoln School PTA, Galesburg High School Band Parent Association, and boards for the Galesburg Civic Art Center, Midwest Credit Union, Knox Galesburg Symphony, and the Galesburg Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. Weaver also served on the Galesburg Area Chamber of Commerce and was the chairperson and organizer for the annual thanksgiving luncheon put on by the Chamber. Funeral services for Rose Anne Weaver will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday at First United Methodist Church, with visitation beforehand from noon to 1.
