Eleanor Weeks, 85, of White Haven, passed away peacefully on January 23, 2026.
Born on October 2, 1940, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Eleanor was the daughter of the late George and Cecelia (Nugent) Crilly. She was a graduate of Batton High School and went on to work for many years in a cigar factory, where she was known for her strong work ethic.
Eleanor was an avid knitter and a lifelong reader who found joy in quiet moments and creative pursuits. Her faith was central to her life, and she was a devoted and active member of St. Patrick’s Church in White Haven. There, she generously gave her time helping with the food pantry, volunteering in the church kitchen for parish events, and selling gift cards to support church fundraising efforts.
She was especially passionate about her involvement in the Pro-Life movement. Eleanor proudly ran St. Patrick’s White Haven Mother’s Day Carnation Sale, ensuring that all proceeds were donated to Pro-Life causes, a mission close to her heart.
Eleanor is survived by her daughter, Joanie Yankanich and her husband, Paul; her sons, Bill Weeks and Jim Weeks, all of White Haven; three grandchildren, Megan Meikrantz and her husband Chris, Christine Radjavitch, and James Dietrich and his wife Rachel; seven beloved great-grandchildren; and one great great grandson.
In addition to her parents, Eleanor was preceded in death by her husband, William Weeks, and her brothers, George J. and David C. Crilly.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Patrick’s Church, White Haven, Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with a visitation from 10:00 a.m. until the time of the funeral service.
Arrangements are under the direction of Lehman Family Funeral Service.
