Her interests included bird watching and fishing with her grandchildren.

She was a member of Christian Fellowship Church since 1972. Her hope was in Christ alone and she faithfully shared with others about God's free gift of eternal life through Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

Martin, Ephrata; Larry married to Tammy (Beiler) Martin, Reinholds; and Karen married to David Tinsley, Queens, New York City; 11 grandchildren; 4 great grandsons; a foster son, Lamar Zimmerman, Lakeland, Florida; a twin sister, Arlene "Fay" married to Richard Fox, Clay; and three brothers, Clarence married to Susan Weaver, New Holland; Leonard married to Ruth Weaver, Reinholds; and Marvin married to Margie Weaver, New Holland.

She was preceded in death by two brothers, Raymond Weaver and Lester Weaver.

The family would like to thank Ephrata Manor for their exceptional care of May during the past two years.
