On
December 9th, 2009, Brenda Moser Weathers joined her mother Isabel Lackey Moser,
her father Curtis Polk Moser, and other welcoming spirits, both those with two
legs and four. She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Tom Weathers, her
daughter Yancie Weathers-Costner, son-in-law Randy Costner, granddaughter Allie
Michal Costner, grandson Evan Costner, and the six fur babies. Her life was her
family, friends, and pets. She loved the cooking channel and worked crossword
puzzles in ink. She retired from the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, in 2004 after 44 years. She was awarded one of North Carolina’s
highest awards, The Order of the Long Leaf Pine for her extraordinary service.
Although of no particular religious affiliation, she was proud of her Jewish
heritage and was wearing her Star of David at the end.. She was a woman of
unusual beauty, quiet grace, and great dignity. She wanted to be remembered by
this poem…Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaked in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there.
She will be missed.
The family will receive friends on Friday, December 11, 2009 from 7:00-8:30 pm at Cecil M. Burton Funeral Home & Crematory. Private Services will be held at a later date.
