                            HON. NANCY MACE

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 23, 2023

  Ms. MACE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the life of 
Joan Grier Weaver, a beloved wife and mother in my district, who passed 
away on April 19, 2023, at the age of 71.
  Born on October 30, 1951, in Williamsburg County, Joan was the 
daughter of the late Harvey J. Grier and Dorothy Hanna Grier. She was a 
graduate of Hemingway High School and a member of Union Baptist Church. 
Her dedication to her family and community was admirable, and she was 
cherished by all who knew her.
  Joan is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, L. Dean Weaver of 
Mt. Pleasant, her sons Chad (Allison) Weaver, Lyniel Weaver, and Justin 
Weaver, and her six beloved grandchildren, Her brothers-in-law Robert 
``Bob'' (Gail) Weaver of Florence, Maurice (Debbie) Weaver of Myrtle 
Beach, Marlon Weaver of Pawleys Island, and Stewart Weaver of Murrells 
Inlet also survive her.
  Joan's contributions to her community and her profession will not be 
forgotten. Her professionalism and dedication as the Controller and 
Chief Financial Officer for L. Dean Weaver Construction were invaluable 
to the company's success, and her kindness and generosity towards her 
colleagues and friends were truly inspiring.
  Mr. Speaker, this tribute is a small but sincere token of our 
gratitude and admiration for Joan Grier Weaver, a remarkable woman who 
touched the lives of so many and will be deeply missed.
