Ethel Patricia Weishaar “Pat” passed away on October 31, 2022. She was 84 years old. Pat was born in Annapolis on January 5, 1938, to the late Arthur Adrian Burns and the former Sarah Lillian Wood. Pat was a native Annapolitan/Eastporter and proud graduate of Annapolis High School, Class of 1956. She excelled in business class, an accomplished and very fast typist. Her early career was secretarial work in Annapolis at Nationwide Insurance alongside her best friend Linda (Blair) Paepcke, bookkeeping at the US Naval Academy, and writing/typing contracts at Universal Motors before joining Anne Arundel County Public Schools in the early 1970s. She was Secretary to the Deputy Superintendent, which included serving as the school system’s Legislative Liaison for nine Maryland sessions. After 23 years of service, she retired as Business Manager at Old Mill High School. Pat married her late husband, Harry, and together they raised their three daughters in downtown Annapolis. Pat and Harry enjoyed archery and bow hunting together. She enjoyed bird watching in her back yard and really all wildlife especially at the dog park with her beloved Bruiser, Penny, and Elsie. In retirement, Pat was an avid reader, loved playing card games with her grandkids; attending Shotgun Bingo at the Kent Island Elks with her sisters, watching her soap opera, and chasing a big win on scratch-offs or the Lottery. Along with her parents, she is predeceased by her beloved husband, Harry A. Weishaar (1992), and her sisters, Betty Storton and Adrienne Driscoll (2022). She is survived by her daughters, Brenda (Todd) Korich, Mary (Andy) Suplee, and Ann Marie Howes (fiancé Mike Sweeney); grandchildren, Joshua Korich, Emily Suplee (fiancé Joe Dessi), Becca (Robbie) Coleman, Marybeth Suplee, and Stephanie Howes.
