Ann H. Weiland

Ann Weiland, 82, of Staunton, Virginia, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, October 3, 2026, due to complications from an automobile accident in July.

She was grew up in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, a daughter of the late George and Bernice Harman.

Ann graduated from Boston University and spent her professional career in Corning, New York. She served as Executive Director of Steuben County United Way and Vice President of Chemung County United Way. She was later appointed Executive Director of the Steuben Senior Services Fund and retired as Vice President of the Three Rivers Development Corporation.

An accomplished public speaker and grant writer, Ann possessed a vision for developing programs and services that benefited countless individuals throughout her community. She developed a deep commitment to The Nature Conservancy and generously supported a variety of charitable causes.

Following her retirement to Staunton, Ann continued her dedication to serving others through volunteer work with the Wilson Workforce Rehabilitation Center and Hospice of the Shenandoah. She was also an active member of the Handbell Choir at First Presbyterian Church of Staunton.

Ann enjoyed camping adventures and traveling, including trips to Europe for performances with a handbell choir, Tanzania, and numerous other destinations. She had a great appreciation for music, art, fashion, and design. An avid reader with a lifelong passion for learning, she also had a special love for animals, particularly cats. This affection was evident through her devoted service as a volunteer and foster caregiver with HOPE Rescue.

She is survived by her brother, George “Chuck” Harman, Jr. and his wife, Jeanne, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In accordance with Ann’s wishes, there will be no formal services. 

An informal gathering of friends is planned for Sunday, November 1, 2026, in Staunton. Those wishing to attend may call or text (540) 290-0669 for additional information.
