NASHVILLE – Betsy Wadsworth Weaver, age 87, passed away on Monday, May 11, 2026. Born in Wayne County, NC on August 15, 1938, she was the daughter of the late James Alexander Wadsworth and Sally Elizabeth Rhodes Wadsworth. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Eugene Weaver; her son, Danny Weaver; her sisters, Shirley Wilkinson and Pat Smart; and her granddaughter, Angie Webb.
Above all else, Betsy loved the Lord with all her heart, and that love was reflected in the way she faithfully loved and served others throughout her life. Her church family held a special place in her heart, and she lived with a genuine kindness and warmth that made everyone feel welcome. Betsy never met a stranger; she had a remarkable gift for building meaningful relationships and making people feel valued from the very first conversation. Whether someone knew her for only a few moments or for many years, time spent with her always felt familiar, comforting, and sincere. She was intentional in the way she cared for others, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her. In her quiet moments, she found great joy in sewing, tending to her garden, and spending time reading, simple pleasures that reflected her gentle spirit, creativity, and appreciation for life’s everyday blessings.
Betsy is survived by her daughters, Beth Weaver, Virginia Weaver LeQuire (Randy), Vicky Weaver Sykes (Ken) and Larue Weaver, her son David Weaver; her 13 grandchildren, her 24 great grandchildren and her 2 great-great grandchildren; her daughter in law, Freda Weaver and several nieces, nephews, adopted sons and daughters.

I’m going to miss you soooooo much grandma… but i know you are where you’ve always wanted to be.. with the Lord!!
We miss you, and we always will
Since my own Mother passed Betsy has been like a mother to me. She was absolutely the best Mother-in-love i could have ever had. Virginia and I had the privilege of having her in our home for a little while, what a blessing!
We will miss you Miss Betsy and will see you in Heaven. Beth and Karen, you have our deepest condolences and prayers. We mourn with you, but only for a short time.
Betsy was my father’s first cousin. She was such a sweet and thoughtful person. We have the Wadsworth reunion the first Sunday in June. She came every year faithfully. I am sure going to miss seeing her. And also getting her messages and posts on facebook
What a precious Saint of God. I can remember her from the days of my youth. She was a light to many . Heaven is getting sweeter everyday. To her family I am sorry for your loss and praying for you all.
I will always be grateful that God brought this sweet, kind, caring, and gentle lady into my life. I will miss the many conversations we had on our way to the senior center and the laughs we shared. She would share stories that showed me how truly remarkable a person she was and how she lived her life. I will miss my dear friend. You will be in my heart and thoughts always. Til we meet again my dear Betsy (maw). I love you.
Betsy was the sweetest, kindest lady!! She helped take care of our mother, Doris Griffin, for years, and my family and I will always be grateful to her!! My thoughts and prayers are with the family!!
