Jacie Mae Weaver, a one-of-a-kind spirit who brought light and laughter to everyone around her, passed away on September 24, 2024, at the young age of 25. Born December 17, 1998, at Mercy Medical Center in Mason City, Iowa, Jacie was a gift to her parents, Jeff and Shawn (Battleson) Weaver, and an especially welcome joy to her older brother Jacob, who was 6 ½ years her senior. From the start, Jacie and Jacob shared an unbreakable bond, with Jacie often his shadow throughout childhood—a closeness that remained a cornerstone of her life.
As a child, Jacie’s love for Care Bears, especially Sleepy Bear, reflected her gentle, whimsical nature. She was always active and involved, participating in Girl Scouts and T-ball during her younger years. As she grew, Jacie participated in volleyball and soccer during middle school, while playing both the flute and piano. She had a love of music that carried on throughout her life, serving as her escape from the world. Her favorite color is purple, and like the color itself, Jacie was vibrant, comforting, and full of depth.
Jacie graduated from West Fork High School in 2017, proud of her accomplishments and the friendships she nurtured there. Following her high school graduation, she earned her AA degree from North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC), continuing to explore the world with curiosity and confidence.
A lifelong gamer, Jacie found joy in playing Runescape, The Sims, Grand Theft Auto, Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart, where she was always quick to claim Yoshi before her brother could. She formed deep connections and lasting friendships in the gaming community, her warmth and wit transcending the screen. Jacie was also known for her unique and creative Snapchats, sending quirky, funny, and original messages that perfectly captured her playful and one-of-a-kind personality.
Jacie’s heart was especially full when it came to animals, and her deep love for them was clear in her lifelong connection with pets. She had a particular affection for cats and shared a special bond with her beloved cat of 15 years, Cheese, who passed away last summer. Cheese was more than a pet—she was a companion and a source of comfort for Jacie. Following her passing, she continued to find joy and love with, Debbie and Juni, who were her constant companions. Jacie’s love for animals was undeniable, and she extended her care and affection to every creature she encountered.
Jacie had a magnetic, aloof character that drew people to her. She was both deeply kind and positive, never speaking a bad word about anyone. She was unapologetically herself, living in her own world, and that world was full of joy, humor, and sunshine. There was no one quite like Jacie—her unique charm and off-the-wall sense of humor could light up any room and leave her friends and coworkers with a laugh or smile.
She worked as a manager at Orange Leaf in Mason City before transitioning to Auto Plus, and was most recently employed at Diamond Vogel Paint, where her coworkers appreciated her quick wit and offbeat comments. Jacie had a talent for surprising people with her humor, making the ordinary days brighter for those around her.
Halloween was Jacie’s favorite holiday, and she had a true love for the spooky season’s creativity and fun. Her life was enriched by music, which provided solace and escape. Every night at 5 p.m., Jacie would call her mom, just to chat—a daily ritual that will be deeply missed.
Jacie’s family was her world, and she adored her two nephews, Keaton and Kaisen, who brought her endless joy and laughter. Her four closest friends—Jessi from childhood, Caylee from high school, Hannah from Orange Leaf, and her very best friend Cloey—were her companions in life, standing by her through all her adventures and laughter-filled days.
Jacie’s life, though cut short, was filled with love, laughter, and her own brand of magic that will never be forgotten. She had a heart that touched everyone she met and left a lasting impression of joy, warmth, and unshakable kindness. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew and loved her.
In addition to her parents, Jacie is survived by her brother Jacob (McKenna) Weaver, her two beloved nephews Keaton and Kaisen; grandparents, Michael Weaver, Mary Casper and Patty Battleson; aunts and uncles, Angela (Jeff) Dooley, Jay Weaver, and Joe (Kendall) Battleson; as well as her cousins, great aunts and uncles and many close friends who became like family. Though she is no longer with us, Jacie’s light, her love, and her laughter will forever live in our hearts.
Jacie is joined in Heaven by her grandparents, Eileen Weaver, Lyle J. Battleson, and Wayne Casper; uncle, Matt Battleson; great grandmothers, Eleanor Uthoff, Viola Sheehy, and Helen Weaver; and her beloved cat of 15 years, Cheese.
